Quote An avatar is a computer user's representation of himself/herself or alter ego, whether in the form of a three-dimensional model used in computer games, a two-dimensional icon (picture) used on Internet forums and other communities, or a text construct found on early systems such as MUDs. It is an “object” representing the embodiment of the user. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_ (computing)  An avatar reflects user’s personality so when choosing an avatar remember: it will influence the way other users will see you. Some avatars can provoke irritation or rejection, and most people will transfer these emotions on the attitude towards you. So, there are some recommendations: 1. Your avatar must not be too big. The size of more than 150х150 px often corrupts forum design. Optimal size is 100х100. 2. Your avatar must not weigh much, because one forum page may turn to be quite expensive for some users. Optimal weight is 5-10 Kbyte. 3. If your avatar is animated it must not flicker too often. If it is not animated it must not be a mishmash of bright colors. 4. Avoid dirty inscriptions on avatars. Some users think it’s cool but it only shows your childishness and immaturity. 5. Avoid sexual images. If you are not a member of adult forum then this only means that you have problems with sex. When registering a user can choose an avatar out of more than 20 default sets. If website administrator allowed Users group to Upload own avatars in user group settings, then you can set an avatar from your computer. You can also change max size of uploaded avatars. E.g.: Maximal size (Kbytes) for uploaded avatars: 150 Kb Maximal dimensions (Pixels) for uploaded avatars: 140x140Px In the Control Panel in Users – Avatar Management (Main » Users » Avatars) you can select the default sets from which users will be able to choose their avatars. To disable a set (sets) remove the corresponding checkmarks.  You can also create your own avatar collections. Just follow the steps below:
Your collections will have the names "Collection 1", "Collection 2", "Collection 3" and so on. You can’t give your own names to the collections. Quote How can I do so that Guests have definite avatars in forum (e.g. an image with the inscription "Guest").

Ed05, this was a system limitation put in place when the system was first developed. The system has been designed to limit the maximum value of this setting, and as such, for now, the recommended image file size is 200Kb.

Ed05, let me understand that you have a HTML code like this:
Code <span class="user_avatar">$_AVATAR$</span> In this case, you need to use the following CSS code: Code .user_avatar img {width:55px;} If it's not working (but it should) try to add !important after 55px, but before ";". hey i'm joe and i do not work for the company anymore, please contact other staff or tech support

The avatar max @ the site is 160 X 160.
A member uploaded an avatar 540 X 410 - he thought would automatically reduce. It looks very big. I tried to remove it as admin and it does not. Also tried to exchange with a smaller 140 X 140 and 160 X 160 and the original still remains. Ucoz Website Since 2009
