User profile avatar size.

[XjCrAzY]

Hey ya'll!!
I have a quick and probably silly question but why is my profile avatar limited to only 34kb? I was going to actually put a real and really sweet picture of me as my avatar but I don't have any that small.
I know that there is a way to shrink them easily but since I hardly ever get time to hang out woth my pc I've seem to forgotten how to do that....
Is there a way to possibly increase the limit to maybe 1mb?
Thanks and I hope to see everyone but that craaazy mofo {ESC}Jacko in the servers soon!!

If you want to use a bigger size you can use a 3rd party image hosting site like Imgur.   That's where I keep my images so I can post animated sigs and avatars or pictures with larger file sizes..
