The size limit of 6 micobits seems a tad low. Could we bump that up to say 19kb?

I tried to upload my avatar as an attachment to this post and got this:
"The extension bmp is not allowed."

But jpg uses up more space and the 19kb request of mine would still be too small.



Ok...ok... OK! I'll make it smaller

How about trying to add this one?

I've also allowed the bmp extension so that should be ok now :D

RB, I still had to increase the maximum file size to 6700kb (up from 6144).

I guess I could have cropped it to more accurately fit the length and width parameters. As it looks I’m a tad taller and thinner. But I am now all (sort of) here.

Thanks
