I recently tried to upload a pic for my profile but the 10kb restriction seems to miserly to fit anything, it would be nice if you could increase the limit to 500Kb or better 1MB. |

Even an upgrade to 100 kb helps a lot. |

Are you guys crazy? 1MB! You do realize that a larger profile pic increases page load times. The entire home page of the forum is less than 200KB. The 10KB restriction is there for a reason. To keep the forum quick to load.

No, 10 KB is enough. Why do you want ridiculously large pictures? This isn't a photo gallery. Besides how big can a 100x100 pixel image be?
Keeping the page quick to load is the first priority.
