...and then on the fiftieth time the S2ki warlords said...LET IT WORK!! and so once S2ki came up from its latest undocumented dump ..it worked...all by itself ... same file..... different mystery

 

I also cannot put an Avatar on my site. Says it is too large. Says I can only put a 6 kb picture. What picture has 6 kb.?? The smallest one I have is 36 kb. Do I convert this in some way? I also cannot put one in my signature???

 

You can adjust large jpeg images to reduce the file size. Usually you will need a secondary application designed specifically for making web graphics. I use Adobe Imageready, which comes with Photoshop. It has some "optimize" features which are very easy for reducing file size. I know there are some other freeware programs that do the same thing, but I don't know the names of them.

 

- same thing happened to me, but mine was on the FIRST day after the upgrade

 

uppity you need to resize it you could use something like:

To put it in your signature you need to host the image somewhere (say your s2ki album) then use [img] code in your signature with the url to the image,

HTH

 

Thanks.

 

Okay... Did that. Pictures are small enough. But... Now when I try to put in as Avatar an error message comes back and says that I cannot put that type of file as an avatar. It is a .gif and another is .jpeg. What am I doing wrong? I think I might give up. And, another thing, my photo album does not show the picture, just a box with a red x?? I know I appear as an idiot, but most of the time I am not stupid

 

Nevermind...got it...thanks.

 

I am trying to add a custom avatar too. file is within size limits pixels and bytes, but i get this error when trying to add it from the PC:

You are not allowed to upload that type of file as an avatar or personal photo

I have tried it with a gif and a jpg

 

That is what happened to me, too. I got a little program called Avatar Sizer and now I have no problem at all.
