Ok all, I know there has been some hard feeling but honestly someone could be a real asshole and link a 2048X1536 Avatar! Or heck even bigger, as you realize I didn't want anyone to know until I came up with a resonable fix.
I am not saying anyone would do it but it was one of the security things I read about. Images within posts are limited in size (very gracious size as you all know), but it's a bug that avatars are not.
So here you go...the solution
Avatars can be 145X200, it doesn't change the forum view since the username column is 150 pixels wide. The allowed size is 200Kb which should be more then enough for any animated gifs, which is what you all had. If you need more space let me know.
Note my new avatar is 140X170
