Hmmm... I just downloaded your avatar, changed it to bmp of 18.8kb and set it as mine without any problems. Now I have to find where I've put my original one...

A quick glimpse showed me avatars of way over 25kb...

what do you mean by "way over 25kb" because I cant get anything past the file size restriction that's better then 30+kb

The biggest I found was about 28.5 kb, which is a whopping 14% more than 25 kb...

Are you sure some of you are not confusing avatar kb size with the in-game nose art kb file size limit?

A quick check of the squads folder will show that nose art pics are all something like 8 kb , IIRC...

Long time back like around 2000/2001 I think there might have been an avatar size limit of like under 29 kb or there abouts...

Just going from memory... Please correct any thing wrong if I've posted such...
