Brew74 0 #1 Posted January 20, 2011 Ok so I am trying o put up an avatar photo from my build and i am having trouble getting it to allow it.

stevasaurus 23,274 #2 Posted January 20, 2011 I have had that problem also...in my case, the file name was too long. The solution was to save the picture to my desk, then rename the file by clicking on it, then right clicking, choose rename then upload to photobucket. You also need to use the "URL" not the "IMG" for the avatar. Hope that helps. Call it like "avatar1.jpg :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 16,290 #4 Posted January 21, 2011 Avatars don't need to be uploaded to Photobucket. You can upload them directly to RedSquare. Just make sure that they are no larger than 128 pixels by 128 pixels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MalMac 1,332 #6 Posted January 21, 2011 Not being a computer guru. I have had the same problem. How do you get the pixel count down? Seems like any pic I want to use is too large a count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trouty56 567 #7 Posted January 21, 2011 Mine is 640 X 480. The site will resize it. I've seen others that are larger also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MalMac 1,332 #8 Posted January 21, 2011 I seen where the site will resize it, but so far no luck. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,880 #9 Posted January 21, 2011 For those having a problem with your avatar, AND if your avatar is on a service such as photobucket, post a link to the picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,411 #10 Posted January 21, 2011 If you use photobucket...(or any other photo host) for Avatars you have to use the "Direct Link" code. You don't use the img code... that's only for pictures in posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chesbaycruiser 83 #11 Posted January 21, 2011 I'll be happy to resize the image to 128x128 if you would like. E-mail or PM me and we'll get it squared away.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
