I've been trying to upload my fave avatar onto this fine website, but to no avail... Why not ?

its in the account settings ..... maybe its too big (size) or maybe its too big (file size)....

try modding it down with photoshop so it fits....thats how I got Conky here.

or....send it me by PM and I'll fix it for you

rockandrollnomad,

I personally think there is a problem with the program if you try to upload direct from your own PC.

My Avatar disappeared 2 days ago when my old ISP cut me off (I've switched to a new provider - so it was expected). I tried to upload direct from my PC - received the message too large. I cut the size gradually to 50%, and on each attempt was told too large.

I then hosted my original Avatar independently on the Internet (full size), and hey presto, it worked.

I'm sure Buksida will have a much better explanation than a program fault though

Thanks to you both for your prompt replies... Sandman, how do I p.m. a photo to you. (Sorry to sound like a thick northern monkey) I already reduced the pixels to 80x80 as advised by the instructions... Cheers in advance

rockandrollnomad,

You probably don't have enough post to be able to attach a photo to a PM. You will need to e-mail it to somebody to make it workable for you.

I've sent you a PM in case you me to sort it for you.

Cheers for p.m. have now sent my avatar to your 'e' mail in hopes you can solve problem for me...

rockandrollnomad,

No e-mail arrived. I've checked every account I've got.

I then checked my PM Outbox, and it tells me you haven't opened my PM yet.

Please open your PM and use the address I've sent to you.

Sorry Big boy, I've resent it to your current 'e' mail address not the warm-mail one... Cheers

rockandrollnomad,

What a sad Avatar - I thought it was bad being a Plymouth Argyle supporter - never mind, somebody has to support them

Now that I've seen what you want, I've searched the Internet and found a clearer image. If you put http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2137/226 ... 45d3_m.jpg
into the
Link to off-site Avatar:
Enter the URL of the location containing the Avatar image you wish to link to.
box and upload, it should work fine.

However, if you get back a message saying its too large, let me know and I'll resize it for you.

Hi Big boy... Thanks for the info but nothing is happening trying the route you have suggested. I checked the avatar on your proposed site and it's actually 82x82 which is larger than the one I sent you (80x80) Any further help is appreciated, cheers Pete...

I've reduced the size by 20%, try this one:
