How exactly are you trying to post it? Try uploading it to a site like www.imgur.com or www.imageshack.us and then wrap the direct image link with tags.
Are you talking about the new thing on the top of the front page? It's there so that important news items that get bumped down or crowded-out from the front page list can still shine. It was a very important feature that was implemented and I am infinitely grateful for it.
Sure enough, I still opt for an option to either close it or move it. (It´s an improvement.)
Cause I usually just 'watch' news items, sure it's good for those that don't 'watch' or spend less time reading the front page. But for me the blue tracker is way more useful (and surely there are others).
The tracker is still there where it always has been. A static image used to occupy the space where the news feed is now. It's a big improvement, both visually and functionally.
You should understand that the new software comes as a benefit for both users and administrators. While the UI may be a little clunky at the moment, I've found it to be a huge improvement over the old style.
Not to mention that the new software is probably a heck of a lot easier for site managers to get around in, helping bring all of us a better forum.
Oh, and the posts per page was increased, which may explain the increased time it takes to scroll through all the posts.
It's not enough, that's why I'm posting the complaint here.
I'm afraid I must disagree with you.
150x150 was quite perfect.
I think that if the 90x90 limit is kept, you'll understand the change in time. 150x150 is quite a ridiculous size for avatars, and generally degrades the quality of the forum because it looks unprofessional, especially when avatars start coming in all weird shapes and sizes. A lot of forums simply disable avatars. Most disable images in signatures. I think Diablo Fans has been quite lenient with your choices for something that is free to use.
But this is not in my hands: what the guys upstairs want to do with it is up in the air.
My avatar is gone, my userpage looks like shit, and we need to get the background back to black when we're browsing the forums, having the battles n' shit burns my eyes, and it's really bloody distracting
edit: Woops, my avatar is still there.
Though, my sig is gone, and it always displays my profile picture everywhere, stead' of my avatar. This needs to be fixed, because it sucks.
Your profile pic is simply too large. I agree that the avatar should be used instead of the profile pic for other uses, like the account image in the upper right.
Airandius, do you mean the "Recent Posts" function? There's a "View New Content" button right above "Start a new Topic" if you want to see recent posts.

90x90 is more than enough. Be creative with the space you're given.
Edit - Although it seems people with larger avatars before the site swap still have them.
I'm not sure I understand! What is new?
Looks like a good size to me. Avatars shouldn't overwhelm the post.
Edit - Also, "[#10136] You do not have permission to report the item you are attempting to report."
Can't report shit, captain!
Edit - I guess that's normal!
A minor issue dealing with the site banner: it needs to be moved down and to the right a few pixels.
