Auto skrinking of avatars?

[Neo]

1) Unless the avatar is flash, it's not going to be a very large size, and if the size limit here is 80x80, what's the prob?
2) I'm a 56ker and i dont see the problem with avatars or sigs. It's not that slow.
3) How is the routine client-side? It's on the server.
4) You can use a resizing script on a Pentium 233. And once the pic is uploaded and shrunk by the avatar resizing routine, the resized avatar is stored on the server, hence it will always download as a 80x80 max pic.

Oh, I took Lachie's proposition as dynamic, but indeed, as you told, it can also be done static yes. I forgot about that, sry.
