This was especially a pain when I was trying to figure out what was causing the issue with uploading an avatar.
I'm pretty sure the 80x80 is not a limitation of vB as older versions like v3 support larger avatars than 80x80.
From a web search it does not seem to have a size limitation.
The limitation is not set by forums version but settings in admin options. in this forum its as follows:
"The maximum size of your custom image is 80 by 80 pixels or 100.0 KB (whichever is smaller)."

Avatar is just an avatar, It helps recognize people before reading they nickname. I like when it is small. On some forums admins allow it to be large, but its take so much space on the threads... NO.
