Avatar and the FAQs

[CommandoBob]

I was wanting to change my avatar. I checked the FAQs and the maximum size is 70x70 pixels and 4KB.

However, I have a saved image of my current avatar that is 100x100 pixels and 4 KB.

Reading some threads here, it looks like the maximum size is now 6 KB.

So.....

could the FAQ be updated to reflect this information, if it is indeed correct?

EDIT:

I logged into my Control Panel and used the Edit Avatar link and then used the link to 'forum rules' that is in the text next to my current avatar image.

Postcount titles & avatars.
Each poster has a title and an optional avatar image shown below his/her username. The default titles are Chieftain, Warlord, Prince, King, Emperor, and Deity. The minimum postcounts required are listed below:

Chieftain (Minimum Posts: 0)
Warlord (Minimum Posts: 100)
Prince (Minimum Posts: 300)
King (Minimum Posts: 600)
Emperor (Minimum Posts: 1000)
Deity (Minimum Posts: 2000)

You can also put a picture, or avatar, under your name. There are hundreds of Civish avatars for you to choose from.

If you have 30 posts AND have registered for 30 days, you can give yourself a custom title and a custom non-animated avatar. The dimension limit of custom avatars is 70x70 pixels and size limit is 4 KB.

If you have 100 posts AND have registered for 100 days, you can give yourself a custom non-animated avatar up to 100x100 pixels and 6 KB in size.

You can change your title or avatar in your My Account page.

looks fine to me

Edit: oh following the link you cite actually leads to an older version - so yeah that needs updating
