OddLlama Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) When I try to upload this image: http://i.imgur.com/3xZ2y.png for my avatar, it gives me an empty error box that looks like this: when I click the import button. Can someone please help me? Thanks! Also, sorry if I posted this in the wrong section; I didn't really know where to put it.

jim100361 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Uploading doesn't work. You need to link to it using the img tags. Read this page: http://forums.getpai...es-and-avatars/ Edit: Sorry - I didn't read it thoroughly.

OddLlama Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Um... that doesn't work either. What should I paste into the box?

pdnnoob Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Your image dimensions do not meet the specifications. The maximum size allowed for avatars is 150 pixels in either direction (yours is 160 pixels tall) Edited November 4, 2012 by pdnnoob Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

thexman Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Um, I must admit this is throwing me, too... My image is a 150x150 png (hosted on Photobucket), and it won't upload. I even tried a 100x100 jpg, but no luck either. I get exactly the same result as OddLlama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Some forum users have had success with alternatives to Photobucket. Try ImageShack?

thexman Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Good point - I know both of those hosting services don't play nicely with the occasional forum from time to time. However, while I'm not concerned enough about the lack of an avatar to be bothered signing up with ImageShack, I did try hosting it on my own website and linking directly from there. Same result... I'm guessing there's another factor in play here that we're unaware of, perhaps a hiccup in the IP.Board code, or something like that. Of course, my own idiocy should not be ruled out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddLlama Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 I changed it to correct dimensions http://i.imgur.com/yR9dz.png But it still does the same thing!

Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Try now Does this mean that Photobucket works now?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 @OddLlama: Did you use Photobucket or another image hosting service?

OddLlama Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) I used imgur. Imgur is the best one out there Except for http://min.us, that's pretty good too Edit: Although I don't see how it could make any difference, it's still just the same .png Edited November 7, 2012 by OddLlama Quote Here is my website - http://www.oddllama.cu.cc Here is my gallery - http://oddalpaca.deviantart.com/gallery Am I odd? - yes Am I a llama? - yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thexman Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I uploaded my avatar directly from my PC - pyrochild tweaked it (I presume?), to accept direct uploads instead of remote hosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
