Title: Please help
Post by: Peregrinus on October 05, 2012, 08:41:16 AM
Hey there!

I'm new here and I just created this account to take part in the musical challenge.

But I kinda got a problem and I want to know if it's because I'm a clueless newbie or it's just something that is wrong with my profile.  :-X

Everytime I try to upload a picture for my profile, it says it's either too large or not an avatar. If I shrink it to a size below, let's say, 100x100 pixels, it will start to say it took too long for the server to upload or it's still too large. Those files are jpeg.

I know those topics are lame but I can't find a FAQ or a "post your lame newbies issues there" and the help sections doesn't provide any useful informations on that subject.

Anyway thanks for your time, and awesome forum. :)

id suggest we sticky a thread that answers this, except i doubt it'd actually stop these threads from appearing every month

Or better, put some sort of note by the "upload my own picture" option that says "DOES NOT WORK; FIND AN EXTERNAL HOST INSTEAD".

Or just remove the option entirely, if possible.

Whoever has admin access, just hide the option for now until someone fixes it..
