Stop talking like you're web developers, k.The pictures don't do shit to load times. They're cached, they take less than 200ms to load unless you've never seen it before. The problem is that we have forum software loaded with bloat that gets executed on every page load, like I said before, the time spent is not downloading it's waiting for the webserver to return the result, ergo not the pictures.
3. (Alternative with number 2) Remove the ability to use image urls as profile pics, keep the dimension restriction and add a file size restriction to images to further reduce lag.
im aware that caching exists, but massive gif avatars are still dumb, they make scrolling down the main page a tiring job
the page still loads slowly, not matter what's causing it, having to wait 6-7 seconds for the main page to load is bad
