Remote avatar access has been removed. Basically this means that you will no longer be able to host a large avatar on a website somewhere and use it on our forums.
There is now only the ability to upload avatars. The avatar can only be gif, jpeg or jpg file types and can only be a MAX of 50k in size. This limit has always been in effect, but I figured that having one that was a little bigger wouldn't hurt.
But people are now using ones that are much bigger in size. They slow down modem users, they also cause problems when scrolling through a page. It can also cause other problems but those are the 2 main ones.
Sorry for this, but it has to be done.
