I wanted to know if the avatar's could be larger, if not why? If they could be larger i think that would be a great idea.

It's all a balance, Werty.
Bigger avatars ( and complicated sigantures ) are OK for folks on high-speed broadband connections but are a REAL pain on dial-up and ISDN.
Also, ISPs hosting servers look at outbound traffic rates. They may cap a site if it exceeds their limits. Lots of big avatars are using outbound traffic capacity. So lots of them means less traffic for the REAL stuff :) before you get capped.
I think UCP has a good compromise. Some other forum have big avatars, lots of complicated and flashing signaures with pics and one line of text on a single page !!
No thanks, lean and mean is best -- just the way I like my cars :)

oh, i forgot about the people without braodband. That's ok, i like my avatar size now, just wondering why it had a limit to its size.

i think you can get larger pics when you have a paid subscription(read it somewhere) for 2,50$ a month
