It seems your avatar is 40 KB in size. The Gentoo forums allow a maximum of 7 KB.

Is it the same limit for images via url link?

Of course. The image is downloaded and stored on the forum server.

After some resizing, dithering, discarding frames and heavier compression, this is what's left : http://imgur.com/eOqt6kB

I edited your profile

And indeed, the avatar is imported into the forum website. So you need to follow the rules, even for an external image (80x80 max, 7ko max)
