As far as I'm aware, Animated GIFs are not available on this website as an Avatar. Obviously, we don't want pages taking AGES to load (I agree), so, why not have a limit on Avatar sizes, something like 100kb (or along those lines)?
We're in Australia, a country leading the way with Broadband technology. Everyone has fast internet now and downloading web pages takes seconds. Most people have very fast internet with what... 500 gig of data to use per month, and they don't get anywhere near that limit. Why not make this simple change to reflect that?
Also, I find it bizarre that there is a limit on size of the Avatar AND a restriction on having animated GIFs as avatars because they make the page loading time too long - it makes the size restriction redundant. Let us use animated GIFS (that actually animate in our posts) and simply have a size restriction of 100kb, and NOT have a format restriction.
