BuddyPress.org

I just noticed that one of my users created a link, and used one of the two ‘thumbnails’ offered as avatars (I’m still very hazy on how that UI for choosing avatars is intended to work), and the one he chose was a 200+ kb png file. Because I had the Links widget in the sidebar, every pageload was pulling in a 200Kb file resized in HTML down to a 20×20 icon.

Ouch.

I wonder if some logic might be built in to that thumbnail thingy to keep the images it offers under a reasonable filesize…
