UPDATED February 2021!
Hi everyone.
With the recent site-wide redesign of the main site(s) and Forum,and change of templates we've been able to set new limits on Custom (personal) avatars and signatures.
Avatars
New parameters are 160 pixels x 160 pixels and a File size limit of 48.8 KB (whichever is smaller).
Quite an increase in size,and should really raise the definition of your art and avatars. Enjoy!

Also, as of 2021 all members are now invited to upload a custom avatar. You can do this after verifying your e-mail address on your account.
("Preset" forum avatars are on the to-do list to be fixed. If they look fuzzy, that's because the automated resizer overstretched old uploads to the 160px x 160px limit. We'll be offering a batch of new 160x160 Stargate avatars for you to choose from.)
Signatures:
Before 2017 the limit for the contents of your signature was 700px x 200px and a file limit of 100KB.
New limits: 760px (width) x 180 px (depth) for an uploaded signature image, and a file limit of 200KB.
Images and animated .gifs in posts/VM etc
No change to the previous limitations.
That means a width limit of 700 pixels and a file size limit of 100KB per image/gif.
Please do not requote images in posts unless you can change the img tags to url code. Also,hotlinking directly from other sites or anywhere else without the owners' permission is still not allowed.
There's a fuller description in Tame's 2008 Announcement which sits at the top of every forum section.
If clarification is needed, or you're having a problem resizing your pics, avatars and sig, ask in this thread and we'll do our best to help. If non-mods can offer assistance too, please do so!
