general questions 255KB Custom Images?

[scilightversiontwo 13]

Why could I only use a 255 kilobyte image or smaller for my background?

It seems very impractical.  For example, say, if someone had a 1920x1080 image, no dice!

File size limits are usually enforced by sites to improve performance/user experience as well as save on space. Generally PNG images are the way to go (head to my profile and check out my BG for an example).

 

But yes you are right in that there is a file size limit for various elements such as avatars and profile backgrounds. It isn't a bug, but it is set to that limit by design. If you are seeking to have the policy changed I would suggest reporting your OP and requesting this be moved to Feedback or open a Feedback centric topic.
