You might want to send a pm to Brian. I'm sure he'll be able to help you out.

the problem is its 99 pixels wide and the limit on smf is 80x80. yo need to make it smaller.

According to my avatar page it says "175X175 pixels or 48.8 KB max."

I believe that you get a larger avatar as part of your premier membership.

 

[teacup13]

yup but my avatar is 99X46 or 1462 bytes which falls below both limits

I tried both on site and off with a gif and says the same.

Having the same problem. file size is 79x76 and just over 1400 bytes. Get invalid file type.

Tried to change my Avatar and got told the same thing. "Invalid File". I tried both the Direct Link and directly off my computer. Neither worked.

Do admins actually look at this section of the forum??? whats going on?

 

[bigtrain74]

I have no idea what is going on with this... This is unusual for this to be not working for this long...

I get the same "invalid file" message when trying to upload a GIF that's 75 x 75 pixels and just over 1Kb. I even tried all other formats and same error message. It's probably toward the bottom of Brian's list since it's not a critical component of the forum. I also see that we're back to the stock "vbulletin" image at the top of the page (not that that's a big deal). I'm glad we have the forum back up though - even with the losses and all.

Should work now. Try it and PM me. Please also PM me with issues. Since I am working on the site alot I do not get to read all the threads right now.

Thanks

[slanted88]

Like I said. Fix it.

 

[bmudd14474]

Not sure what broke. I will be gone until tuesday. I will have to work on it then. I will not have internet access where ill be at. I apologize if this isnt soon enough.

I don't know what is involved but I would trust Brian to get things back to normal, he has my trust and confidence.

The avaitir is no biggy at this time.

Let's have some paitence while the site is being restored.
