How do I add an avatar?

Actually forgot to mention that it says that the file is too large when I try to upload yet the picture is there.

Was that a bug in the old software?

Additional : Any idea why there is an odd white area or sort of border type area on the picture n my profile when uploaded but not in the original.

I think it's the snow.

Actually... I just magnified... can't see it. I think it's an illusion.

Well I lol'd. :-)

lynx - did you even look at the link from BlueQuinn? If you did you would have seen the image size restriction.

"Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 64 by 64 pixels or 6.0 KB (whichever is smaller)."

Not a software bug, simple user error - RTFM.

Profile pic the one of kermit, not the cat.

Yes saw the restrictions, and my profile pic was altered and used similar parameters as the last. But this one said it was too big, was uploading from computer, yet still appeared as the profile pic.

Ah... you're in an avatar thread not a profile pic one.

Where's the original kermit image?

Sorry didn't want to start another thread. So thought I'd stick i here.

Pic is from this thread http://www.londonfgss.com/thread30383.html saved to computer and reduced with gimp. Not on this laptop unfortunatley.

The system knows you're into fisting and is reducing the image size to protect the innocent.

Oh Raf, give it a rest... Ask these questions at Souths and all will be revealed, and you can spare yourself the flaming... Please... Please...

Aren't there Data Protection Act issues here?

Please don't let on what you know about me. I'll PM some Smarties, OK?
