can't upload an avatar

[Nath.]

as above I can't seem to upload a new avatar

the avatar upload page says (wrong file extention) even though it is a jpg

and also for some reason I can't upload it from photobucket as it says (Remote file uploads have been disabled.)

anyone got any ideas

upload it from your PC, in the right file size & dimensions

Mark

file size is 19.4kb and 81x82 pixcells and is a jpg ??????

 

[m0rk]

strange.... worked ok for me earlier

 

[Nath.]

what, uploading from photobucket?

 

[m0rk]

no, my computer

stick it on your computer & upload from there

 

[Nath.]

just had a go, now it's named as a jpg but the avatar upload page says this BMP has an invalid file extention

how come if it is renamed as a jpg

BTW the pic has had some touchup work done to it

 

[mrcoyote]

Have you done something stupid like just change the file extension from .bmp to .jpg? If so that won't work and you'll have to resave the picture as a jpeg properly.

 

[Nath.]

OK YEAH thats what I've done

how do I save it as a jpg properly............I'm a novice, can't you tell

 

[m0rk]

19.4kb is pretty big for a jpg of that size.... normally a gif with a few frames wouldn't be that big

 

[m0rk]

open in whatever photo editting package you use - file > save as

 

[Nath.]

ok it's a pic that I took (with a 12mp camera) then done some cut/paste so that may be why its 19.4kb and 81x82 pixcels

I did the cut/paste in coral print house 2

so opened it in that file/save as (blah.jpg) and it still says invalid file extention

?????

 

[Nath.]

ok people It's done now (hope you like it)

it was me not selecting correct setting in coral printhouse2

thanks all v much

 

[mrcoyote]

All that effort for that?

 

[Nath.]

heehee

well you try finding an 18 ton sign, that is the only one I have ever seen
