Why is the avatar pic file size so low?

I tried to upload several pics into my avatar, but every pic I have is too big.  The file size that’s accepted hasn’t been a standard picture file size for 10 years.

I too noticed that the size limit is very low. I had to resize my avatar before it would be accepted. This is probably a reason why there are a lot of new profile pics on this forum (or no pic at all), because members' old avatars were to big. To get around the limit, you will have to resize the photo. When I resized mine, only the two smallest pic sizes were accepted by the forum. The two sizing choices "Best for profile pictures and thumbnails", or "Best for emails and messages" should work. If the email and message option doesn't work, use the smaller profile pic and thumbnail option.

There is also a 4.88 MB size limit for photos when you post them on the forum. Most of my pictures are bigger than that, so I will have to go resize them before posting here. Kind of reminds me of how we had to crop the pictures for them to load straight on the old forum.
