Title: Avatar problems.
Post by: Stagfish on January 07, 2011, 03:52:27 PM: Whenever I upload a avatar it changes to a JPEG file and craps up the quality while other peoples avatars are fine? And I dont think its a size problem, The avatars i've tried uploading are normally quite small.

Post by: JoeBlo on January 07, 2011, 08:34:34 PM: it only changes them if you try to use BMP images

use a correct forum friendly one and you will be fine...

What you do is upload it to another site and copy the link and use that. Except it won't show on the RA2 wiki, but bleh.

Post by: Jonzu95 on July 07, 2011, 03:59:50 PM: I have to bump this.

Why this problem is still not solved? And even I try the Gimp thing, it still screws up the quality.

Save your avatar as either a .png or a high quality Jpeg(if you have something like photoshop), upload it via GTM's image host, then use the url for your avatar.

Problem -> Solved.

Although the URL's length doesn't matter, the URL just needs to point to the image.
