Can't upload avatar
« on: July 24, 2012, 12:02:58 PM »
Every time I try to upload an avatar, I always get the error prompt, being that it's too large or not an avatar. I've tried making it as small as possible, around 100x100 px, but I still get the same result. This happens every time, no matter what type of image it is, JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, and so on, and if I try to upload from URL, it'll say that it worked, but nothing will ever show, just like having no avatar at all.

Help?

I would say that ACAMS is going to paste the URL into the "Choose avatar from URL:" box.

What is the type of image you're trying to use, and what size is it?

686KB, jpg picture... I've tried adding it by uploading and URL but nothing works. If I try uploading it says it's too big or not an avatar and when I upload through URL it works but then my picture doesn't show...

He meant size as in dimensions. Try to decrease the dimension size and try again.

Are you uploading it using an IRL? If so, post it here so we can just check it.

Is the 150 x 150 size limit a technical issue with the forums themselves, or is it a choice? I wouldn't mind if the limit was a bit bigger.

it's because big avatars are extremely obnoxious.

What does it matter?
