stuny Posted July 7, 2006 Share #1 Posted July 7, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm doing something wrong. Last night I reduced an image to the required size for a thumbnail to display beneath my Forum name, added it to my profile, but it doesn't display. Ideas?

Michael-IIIf Posted July 7, 2006 Share #2 Posted July 7, 2006 Stuart, I presume you doing the right steps. ie: go to User CP, click on Avatar, click on Choose File and then navigate to the one you've created and upload it. I know from other forums (fora?) that the server is often very fussy about the file size. So make sure it is not just the right number of pixels but save it without custom icon or thumbnail views. These settings can be set in PhotoShop but the quickest way is, in PhotoShop, choose Save for Web from the File menu. This strips the file down to the minimum.

hm1912 Posted July 7, 2006 Share #4 Posted July 7, 2006 I had some difficulty too Stuart, but then on my second attempt even though the system told me it didn't work, it actually did. Odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunom Posted July 7, 2006 Share #5 Posted July 7, 2006 Stuart The type of file can also prevent uploading, jpeg is probably the one to use ? Bruno Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted July 7, 2006 Share #6 Posted July 7, 2006 Stuart, I see you've added a "Picture", you need to add an "Avatar" to have it show generally. Sorry if you already know this, it's just that I'm keen to see what our current most prolific poster looks like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share #9 Posted July 9, 2006 Thanks all. Re: the picture -- As a car nut it's odd to be behind the "wheel" of an oat burner (this is in Myanmar). Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
