Thread: Avatars Denied

I suspect that some permissions have been turned off for me or something, or perhaps there was a setting I had for my avatars which didn't translate when the site moved or was updated or something. I dunno. I'm not a tech wizard.

you do have to resize the image down to an 150x100 or whatever the requirements are here. But photobucket will do that relatively easily. If you copy and past the direct link below the photo in photobucket to option one. It should work.

If you want pm me, and I'll resize the picture for you. And Put it in my photobucket, so all you have to do is copy and paste the link into option one.

Simply change your username from xman to the invisible man!

First- to the Mac haters: kiss my...strop You're just jealous our computers work and are virus free.

I had the exact same issue complete with the same error messages (on my mac) at first but quickly realized it was, as others have suggested, a file size issue. After resizing in Photoshop, it went up, no sweat.

If it is a file size issue, I use Resize Images online and get it the exact size I want, for free, without having to load any software.

It is NOT a file size issue as the jpegs I am trying are 80 x 80 pixels and 4kb. I've done some net searches on my problem and it appears to be a permissions issue.

I'd say try it from someone else's computer then. I'm no IT guy, but that's helped me get around these annoying problems in the past.

You could find someone you trust on the board and have them do it for you. Might very well be what we in Danish call a Fejl40. Or as I've seen it described on the internet an ID 10 T error

Tried all that. Like I say, it's been like this for months now. Others on other bulletin boards have experienced the same issues from what I can gather and it has been the mods who solve it. I was just hoping somebody might have some concrete information from personal experience that might help David or whomever root it out.

76 X 56 is the size you want. 80 X 80 is on the edge of over size for Avatar's

Funny, never had that problem on a PC at all...And dang my computer works and is virus free, plus I didn't get fooled into paying 3 times as much for it.
