    Avatar and Profile Pic Change?

    I set an Avatar a long time ago, but now when I go in to change both it and my profile pic I get an 'unable to save' message. My pics are 119x119 and 89x89 and both under the 24kb size. Am I missing something?

    It's a permissions error on the server, will correct it soon.

    Your sig pic is GIANT, btw.

    I tried changing my avatar just now and it still gave an error. They're probably still working on it. And some sig size guidelines too we hope.

    I just used the image off the internet that was the size. Wasn't sure how to make it smaller actually. I guess Id have to copy the impage and host it to my photobucket then shrink the size, then reinput it into my sig correct?

    wont let me add an avatar, This is most likely caused by no read/write permissions on the "Avatar" folder. FTP to the server and run a 777 command on that directory.

    Truth!

    UhateIt: That's exactly how I've done it in the past: Saving off the web, cropping/resizing with IrfanView, upload to PhotoBucket, then grabbing the image-tagged link from there to put in my sig.

    I was going to do that but just found the non blown up size and then used that image. I think it's too small now tho I may just increase it a tad. Hopefuly I didn't piss anyone off with my sig being so big, but I swear everytime I see the picture I start laughing ha!

    And no I do not lift, not since 10th grade, so it's been about 13 years since I was lifting. I'm scrawny as heck so I can't speak on any lifting stuff

    There we go, took the original internet image, screen shot it with snagit8, reduced it to 75% size and uploaded to my photobucket then used that link for here. Sorry for the troubles everyone
