I may need to come up with some Avatar myself - more than 20 years here and still not having one ...
I think 100px is ok-ish though; most Avatars should easily fit into that. Then again I have no objection to any other format either; I guess the primary rationale may either have to do with storage capacity (though that can not apply to external images I guess, though they may not always be available), or possibly bandwidth
consideration and/or what users may expect. If the limit is, say, 1400px in width and height,
some users may use precisely that, so that may overflow into the text, so I guess the forum
needs some kind of limitation here. Which one is best I have no idea, but 100px seems ok-ish
in my opinion. In the context here it would just be a smaller face.![:)]( "Smile")
(There are also online image editors, they work quite well. I was surprised about that when I
had to quickly modify an image on another computer running windows. It went super-fast
to use those online editing tools in general, also for .pdf files by the way. I was surprised about
that because on Linux I have been so used to just use the commandline; online editors weren't
that much slower than the commandline actually, at the least not for one or a few images/pdf
files.)
