The avatar feature on these message boards is very buggy. First, I get "error on page" just like everyone else said. (using IE7) Then I manually found the link to the avatar and put in the URL myself (as if it were a custom one). But then I discovered in order to save those settings you have to basically go through the step of changing your password on that screen.
100 X 100 is really small. And the file size is not alot, its really really hard to find a image that small to make as a avatar, or even one small enough that we can scale it down a bit more in photo-shop.

maybe make it 250 X 250, and 40 Kb.
actually l2 is 80x80..... most forums allow up to 100 or 128 as thier dimensions..
some forums that allow anything larger typically use a 150 as the maximum width and 250 as the maximum length.
from there it's a big jump to a 250x250 image and the only next thing up is where avatars are just stupidly oversized.

i've seen on some forums 640x480 avatars... lol
160x160 (double what we have) would be good, imo. Still won't go passed that little light blue line separating our info from the post.
I'll tell ya, its 100X100. does it look like its over 80 X 80?
No, its looks just like a 80 X 80. But most images I try to find are too large, and wont scale down to 80 X 80 with out completely distorting the image.
This bug, saving your avatar has always been there.
Especially when trying to load an avatar from some url.
But I found a way that worked for me.
When I load the avatar i always get the "the server could not be found" after some loading. Just click back and press it again.
Even if the same error message occurs you still got your avatar.
