to be honst i think this forum should upgrade the file sizes for avatars, sig's and personal pictures seeing as 17kb is maximum for a avatar is kinda pointless seeing as most jpeg images standard size is 23kb even with a compression ratio of 4 it still wouldnt get into the 17kb standards...
also
you have restrictions so users dont go crazy on massive file sizes but you could atleast put a 300kb limit, i mean no one is using dial-up these days.. everyone has broad-band of at least upto 20meg, your forum wont load much slower if you upgrade the sizes the maths behind this is
15 posts per page roughly
so if 15 posts had max file size of avatar (being 50kb)
so avatar 15 x 50kb = 750kb
sig 15 x 300kb = 4500kb(4.3mb)
so total each page would be roughly 5.12mb but that is if everyone has the max file size avatar and max file size sig...
anyway more conclusively to my point those file sizes are to small for someone who is wanting to upload a decent picture with some quality to it...
please consider making the file size slightly larger my examples above where over exaggerated to point out a max page load...
