Why can't I change my avatar?

WildmaN · 09-28-2006, 02:01 PM

This is really irritating me. I would like to change my avatar pic. And it wont accept website links. And it also wont accept an animated one, I have on file. And also when I try to upload off my computer, it says invalid file. WTF? I would really like to change my avatar, I used to be able to. Why can't I now?

NismoPick · 09-28-2006, 02:15 PM

Yours doesn't look like this?

WildmaN · 09-28-2006, 02:31 PM

Yeah I have the same screen, but like I said. I can't change my avatar pic. I have tried. It is verry frustrating.

Z Car Barbie · 09-28-2006, 02:54 PM

Did you check to see if the file size is too large?

WildmaN · 09-28-2006, 02:56 PM

Yes it isn't the file size, it says invalid, or can't upload from a website. Or any animated images.

Z Car Barbie · 09-28-2006, 03:09 PM

Where's the link you're trying to upload? I'll see if I can get it to work.

WildmaN · 09-28-2006, 03:15 PM

C:\Documents and Settings\Aaron\My Documents\My Pictures\Transformers

Here is the one, I really want in my avatar, see if this one will work first.

Z Car Barbie · 09-28-2006, 03:18 PM

Oh, I can't upload from your hard drive - it'll try to search mine for that file. Do you have a url where I can get the pic., or will it let you attach the file to your post?

WildmaN · 09-28-2006, 03:23 PM

Here is the image, uploaded from my computer

Z Car Barbie · 09-28-2006, 03:47 PM

Yup, the file size it too large. The max. size for an avatar is 19.5 kilobytes or 19,968 bytes. Your new avatar is 65,555 bytes, so that's why it won't accept it.

snwbrderphat540 · 09-28-2006, 04:01 PM

haha..that would have been BA

Skully · 09-28-2006, 07:38 PM

i tought avatar could only be changed if you support the site...

jfairladyz · 09-28-2006, 08:00 PM

I tried changing mine as well not too long ago and it wouldn't accept a weblink. I didnt try uploading a pic from my computer though. I know the weblink was within the acceptable size (both pixels and bites). I thought that was strange since I thought my current avatar is a weblink

I noticed it in the beer bottle/Rush thread

WildmaN · 09-29-2006, 03:17 AM

Okay see if you can get this one to work.

Z Car Barbie · 09-29-2006, 03:34 AM

Sorry, that one is still too big. 19.5 kilobytes or 19,968 bytes is the max., so I had to resize it. You like it?

WildmaN · 09-29-2006, 03:54 AM

Yes, it will work for now. Thanks for getting it to function. I like it because it has the vehicle, and robot mode of Bluestreak. Just wish it was a little bigger though. Anyway thanks for helping me out.

WildmaN · 09-29-2006, 01:03 PM

Hey Z Car Barbie, I found another pic of the same image. And it is a little bigger, but should work for my avatar. Could you change this for the other one?

Z Car Barbie · 09-29-2006, 02:06 PM

There ya go.

Yah, that one looks much better.

WildmaN · 09-29-2006, 02:29 PM

Thank you verry much, you are a kind soul.

NismoPick · 09-29-2006, 02:41 PM

Wahoo! WildmaN got his avatar fixed... it's Friday... almost time to go home... I need a good STEAK tonight!
