Title: Avatars
Post by: 78 Chevyrado on October 22, 2010, 09:33:53 am
Any chance of making the size (KB) requirements a tad bigger, like 50k or something.  Every time I try to do a new avatar, it turns into a major ordeal.  i can downsize it pixel-wise but have no way to reduce the file size in KB without making the pic look so terrible that it's not worth having.  The pixel size doesn't matter, just that size restriction screws it up.  Also when I have a failed attempt at uploading an avatar, the web page just goes back to exactly like it was before I clicked it.  it doesn't tell me what went wrong, so when i finally do get the pixels and KB the right size half the time it still wont upload it from my PC, and if i use a pic from photobucket (also downsized) it stretches it and makes it look funny.

Thanks!

They don't have a KB restriction, just a size restriction of 80x80.
I don't really want to go much over that but I can bump it to 100x100 and see if that helps/changes it.

Oops  ;D

There's my problem...   I thought they were 100x100...  lemme do 80x80 right quick.  did it used to be 100x100?  all my old avatars are sized for 100 so i assumed thats what it was.

I uploaded a 100x100 size pic and it worked the first try.

Sorry to bother you with that chris.

No problem.  It WAS 80x80, I changed it to 100x100 yesterday.
