When i reduce my avatar to 90x90 pixels , i still have a file size of 20 kb , but the forum mentions that the file size must be maximum 6 kb , this is really small and the image becomes unrecognizable at the small size, is there any solution ?

There have been added modifications, but the file size still restricted to 10kb, my image of 90x90 pixels is 20kb. If i reduce to 45x45 pixels, then i still have 16kb . I use the program Paint for that.

Are you saving your image as PNG file? PNG file size was too big, I had to save as JPEG.

Juance, I am using .jpg (with paint), i still don't understand how you and Horia are able to upload their avatar. Because i have 20kb as image size. Which program do you use to reduce the file size without quality loss ?

Increasing the avatar allowed size might effect the loading time (assuming we have many posts) but we've increased the size to 20kb for now.

Please let me know if everything is OK now.

It stil didn't work with 90x90 pixels , but i reduced to 81x81 pixels and now it works , my avatar has been uploaded ! Thank you for fixing this. In order to prevent other questions about this, either you ask to reduce to the file size to 85x85 pixels , or you raise the minimum kb-size to 23 or so .

I know also that there exists a freeware program called "Inkscape", which is vectorial , so if you reduce the image size, then the quality remains. I think that this only works for images (like my avatar is) and not for pictures.

Anyway, the most obvious program to reduce images is Paint, which is on every computer.
