I love the new avatars feature, but I have a suggestion for anyone who uses them. The max. size for an avatar is 64 x 64. Please make sure if you're using one that your graphic is no larger than this. If it is, the browser has to download the graphic and constrain it in this small size, causing unwarranted net congestion and it distorts your image.  If anyone wants help with this, let me know I'd be glad to. There's some pretty snazzy avatars here - especially Andy's. Mine was made in a quick and dirty fashion, but I hope to make a nice one someday.
