Look I dont see why everyone must make a big deal out of this, everyone thinks that avatars are something that aren't creatable by the average joe user. Avatar's are a cinch, all you have to do is take the image you wish to use as an avatar, crop it down to the size of the forum you wish to use it at which in this case the limits are:
Displays a small graphic image below your details in posts. Only one image can be displayed at a time, its width can be no greater than 100 pixels, the height no greater than 100 pixels, and the file size no more than 6 KB.
So then you pop your image in your computers image editor like Paint, Photoshop, Paintshop, whatever... And set the image size to 100x100 and make sure that it doesn't exceed the file limit and you got yourself an avatar.

To answer your question, No, those images exceed the limits in both ways.

I know this is a bit spammy as well, but I figured I should post it here in a thread of the same topic.

Is there any way I can use an avatar directly from my server? The reason I say this is because my avatar isn't really an avatar. It uses the same principle as my sig, only I can define it to scale to whatever size I want in the uri.

I really don't intend to use my avatar unless it can be directly the way I scripted it. As such:

I would really like to use that, but I understand if there are reasons why it cannot be done. I hope there is some way that I can. :)

That would require heavy file editing on the admin's part to rearrange the avatar type permission in the script. The forum is built on a pre written script that is safe and secure, editing it coud cause possible risks which I doubt Bear would even think about attempting. So sorry, if you want to use it then you'll have to save it and upload it like everyone else.

It would actually be quite easy to allow off-site avatars, but we're not likely to make this change. Avatar size is important in order for the board's pages to format correctly, and it's much too difficult to enforce for off-site avatars. Sorry about that.

This thread is off-topic, so I'm locking it...if you have avatar-related questions, feel free to PM me or a moderator. (We really can't help you find an avatar if you don't have one, though. Sorry.)
