Because if every page on this site had to load 50 high res profile pics it would take forever to load.

Which ones?

NS could probably go to like 200x200 but everyone is right that loading 50 high res images is a big no go, even in 2021. The internet is like a group race, you're only as fast as your slowest runner, you have to accommodate for all, so most websites still use data saving practices, which doesn't include loading 100mb + of images every page.

If they bump up the resolution there will just be more ikon ads to pay for the bandwidth

That's fair, what I'm really asking for is for us to be able to click into the photo not for you to have 4k images on each page.

Like in this thread:

I have no clue what this profile pic even is and I just wanna be able to click into it and make it larger so I can see it.

Facts. I wish there was an option to mark that I've already purchased an ikon this year, no need to spam me.

Also anyone find it funny that ikon is the one spamming ns with adds even tho epic has the better parks? Most of the utah ikon resorts don't even have parks and brighton's is lame.

it's just a completely unnecessary addition, you can upload a profile picture to your account page that is accessible by clicking your name, what you want basically already exists.
