Hi,
I was reading the rules defined on this link
rules and wanted to ask a question on the avatar. How can I do such follow up when there is no comment facility allowed on that page?
How do I make sure that my avatar has this - "Avatars should be no larger than 120x120 pixels and should not exceed 20KiB in size."??

replying to the question in the title ...
because the founder/owner of the forum set the rules, and You just have to accept them.
how to find out the <resolution> of a pixel image and its size is a question that should be asked in the PC section of the forum
and is in no way related to the rules logic

Hi,
The commenting is not allowed to avoid the unnecessary
clutter and for that matter that's not a blog post where users would usually want to leave some remark/s. Think about a "Rules Page" having a long discussion underneath, what would you chose as a
rule -- the
set-rules or the follow-up comments on them? Over the time , unless the comments are regularly monitored and deleted, they can add a lot of misleading discussion.
On the other hand, You can always start a follow up post in the "
Suggestions & Feedback : About the Forum" part of the Forum or in other section to follow up on a specific rule, as Enrico has indicated.
Also, if you look carefully on the
Rules Page, you'll see that there are anchor points (#) given to highlight a given rule. That brings the attention directly to the rule-in-question. For example, you could mention about your question like this:
Looking at this rule
Avatars should be no larger than 120x120 pixels and should not exceed 20KiB in size. # - how do I make sure this is followed?
Said that, please start a topic on this
Suggestions & Feedback : About the Forum or in
Personal Computers - Mainframe related tools and some one will be around with an answer.
