10kB isn't enough for a decent avatar. Could you make the limit 20-30kB?

20 kb is 6-7 seconds on 56k. Think, if every person posted on one page got signature (which size can be unlimited), if there are avatars 20kb size, and also there is text and forum design. That loads a lot!
My new avatar (65 x 65) on main page is 3 kb.

Anyway its stupidity to load more because of some noobs who doesnt know what is compression.
Catch your ava in ~3 kb (2.5 on disk) size, same quality, less size.

Well I don't like JPEG. So here you go with a PNG. Don't you know JPEG causes irrecoverable quality damage to the image? PNG doesn't do that.
