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.
