Artisan

Are trying to use the new feature that has been added to the forum. It should have step by step instructions. If it is working right maybe you need to let admin. know. Or are you using a program like Photobucket?

Artisan - if you are trying to upload your pic from your computer to the site directly, there are some requirements for the pic - file size and physical size.  If your image is too big in either of these ways, you can resize it, first (if necessary) physically (which will also reduce the filesize at the same time) - then, if the filesize is still too big, try reducing the quality of the image.  I recommend saving the image file with a new name each time, to CYA.  ;)

If you are trying to use a hosted image which resides on the web somewhere, there are also the same image size requirements - although the values might be a bit more forgiving for a web-based image used as an avatar here.

I tryed to upload a pic that was 8.5 kb. That should be small enough, but it wouldn't take it. Either direct or from photobucket.   ?

Sorry Guys, the feature was disabled at the server level ( unknown to me until today ) for security reasons. Of course external picture links still work. Use the "IMG code" provided by the image host. Linked profile avatars can be no more than 120px X 120px  in actual size.
Thanks,
admin

I am a webmaster in the tradition of Howard Hughes, I fly this Spruce Goose of a website through cyberspace by the seat of my pants and I usually manage to keep her just above the water, but every now and then I get a wet ass. Let me know if you feel a shudder.
