Sorry to burst your bubble, but dynamic avatars are now against the rules.

Really? Not complaining or anything (why should I care I don't have dynamic) but why?

Even if every image was 25 KB, 100 of those is 2.5 MB. So when someone is browsing, every time they load a page with a post from you, it's like a different member's ava is loading and just adds to the load time of the page.[/quote]

On top of that members have been caught using dynamic sigs/avatars to slip in inappropriate content. Most people don't catch it and it's incredibly difficult to moderate.

Ok I guess that's a good point. Now I know.

Lol, looking through the 60 files I had, each was less then 2 KB, but yea, dynamic images do sometimes take a while to load
And they dont cache either

its cool, though, never liked dynamic avas. couldnt tell who was who (I use avatar for quick reference when scrolling)

When I did that, it was pretty blatant. Advertised, even.
