« on: February 27, 2009, 05:35:12 pm »

I just tried too and ended up with the same results. I also tried to download one from photobucket and still nothing.

have you downsized the picture? You gotta make it small enough for it to accept the file size.
thanks

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I shrunk it 50 different ways all the way until it looked like a period. I tried to copy a pic off the net. I tried to shrink what I have in my pics in the computer. I'm in the fetal position under my computer. I'll try again later.

LOL thats awesome, i got mine up here, it was 144 kb and i shrunk it in paint to 40kb, it works now.
i was told that 35-40kb is the regular pic size for uploading or something like that.
hopefully that works for you!

Try making the image approximately 35-45KB in size (shrink in Paint, Paint.net, etc)
Posting the image on to a free site such as "Photobucket.com" and use the Direct Link in the field with the http:// (remember to remove the http:// if you copied the entire link from photobucket)

if that doesn't work I would suggest talking to a site administrator, you may have forum restrictions.

No restrictions. Just a hick-up with the system.  Those things happen.
