Topic: Only 20 kilobytes for profile picture upload?

I thought it used to be more...  I don't know if this can be fixed, but I find it impossible now to create a good quality profile picture that is under 20k.

Want some cheese with that whine?  I think it used to be 10kb, btw.

No, as far as I know, it's always been that.
It's only a 100X100 size limit, so it can't be that high-quality, and .JPEG can easily get something that size that small.

It's pretty easy as long as you use image editing software that has a web compression option (GIMP, photoshop, etc.)

Also, didn't the size used to be 70x70px? Correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah, it was.

It seems that pretty much every other user on the site hasn't had a problem with it.

In fairness, this is the second time somebody's posted to complain about it that I can recall.
