Hover over "My Profile" and select "My Control Panel". Under the profile tab select "Edit Avatar" :)

The newer verson of phpBB allows users a lot more control over their forum settings should they wish to go digging.

*p.s damn you Nafe :P Clicking on "My Profile" takes you to your profile as seen by others, you must select "My Control Panel" under "My Profile" ;)

Is there any chance of the size limit being increased?

I thought I could get around it by hosting the image externally but it still copies it to the site, so no luck there :(

The image I want to use is 180kb, can't get it any smaller!

I do realise though that with the number of users increasing, the number of images blah blah blah a lot of server capacity something something will get full up. So an increase in allowed size would be nice, but it's not essential :)
