I'm not sure where you're looking for avatars, then. It's been my experience that 100X100 pixels is the standard for avatars (most of the avatars we provide for your use are 60X60, I think but, you can insert your own up to 100X100 pixels which is the maximum- so you can have smaller icons). I don't remember the last time I saw any bigger than that and that's our limit.

I can understand being a little upset over the 20kb limit since I know a lot of the fancy animated avatars can well exceed this limit but, it's enforced to help pages load faster for those with slower connections.

If you need help finding avatars that are 100X100, you can always head over to Madame Malkin's where many of our talented graphics makers converge and you can request pretty much whatever you want within SS Board rules.
