Sorry to be a pain, but I wanted to upload a new avatar for myself... it's got the proper dimensions and all, but I always get an error. I've tried all my other icons, and none of them seem to be working.

Anyone have a word of wisdom?

I can ditto the offer Bart's made. Send them in by email or something, and I can upload them on the server here and see what I can do to help.

The solution (if you can do it) is to upload the picture file to a webserver (a personal web site or something) and use the URL to upload them. That's how I do them.

From what I can gather, the problems lay in the image's dimensions. When you draw it, it should be no more than 100x100 (or something). When you save it, the program that saves it must give its dimensions in the file properly. When you upload it, you must also change the boxes indicating the dimensions of the image.

If all goes well, it should upload. Please do not upload BMP, PCX, PNG or other filetypes. GIFs and JPGs are the only filetypes that should be supported, and then I'm not too sure about JPGs here.

Transparent GIFs and animated GIFs are fine, as long as the file size isn't too big. If it is animated, try not to use transparencies as this causes every frame to be saved fully and not 'pruned' for efficiency.

That's my two cents.

A picture is a good idea.....

How about a picture of a packet of red hair dye?

You should be able to do it by clicking on the "My Controls" link at the top of the page. If you have further trouble feel free to PM me.
