Avatars

[Skreecheeboy]

What am I doing wrong? Everyone else's seems to be working but I can't get mine to work! I thought it might have been something to do with my work's IT security system but I've even tried uploading them from the SportsAB when I got home and it's still not working. Also can we have animated avatars if GIF and less than 10K? THANKS!

I go to photobucket, save a pic to my hard drive (not bothering to look at its size) then go to my profile, click browse, point it to where I saved it and submit..

it works for me and Im pig ignorant

[Skreecheeboy]

Hi Cazz, I know what you're supposed to do but it's not blooming working! I'll try photobucket but it says any GIF less than 10K should work so I don't think the source has anything to do with it....

Have a look three posts down Skreecheeboy, as I have exactly the same problem. I've even sorted my avatars hoping one will work, but Error messages prevent me for uploading. As I said - not fair, is it?

[cazzz1975]

well honestly I have uploaded loads of pics, photobucket has lotsof little pics, I never look at the file size, even some of the bigger files make it, my files are j-pegs

[bobtheturkey]

mine wouldnt work because i didnt fill all of my profile in and therefore it wouldnt save, they have to be all gif you can change them in paint to gif

[Skreecheeboy]

I know how to make them GIF files!!! I think it's because everyone else has a million avatars already so there's no more space on the server. 'Snot fair! :-(

[bobtheturkey]

my pics, then edit pic by right clicking on it, then edit in paint by saving as a gif then download it

[helliebobs]

How very clever you are bob! :)

This is just a test but it accepted on my profile as a jpeg file and is 66.1kb

I have tried the animated one but not at less than 10kb

Just tried again Skreecheeboy. It now says my joining date is 01 January 0001 and My Profile is also greyed out.

Not to worry, it is a beta site after all and will all be sorted shortly, I'm sure.

[Skreecheeboy]

Lets hope so random grey silhoutte bloke or bird Cetti!

I've just managed to do it ..well my son did it ..I haven't a clue and it's a Jpeg file over 10KB ...Where I went wrong was not clicking on the category I was most interested in before submitting ...once I did that it went through ..
Hi Cetti --I'm sure it will work it all seems to have speeded up a bit now ..keep plugging away !

this helped me, but don't know exactlywhat I did.

I've also been struggling to add a picture. I've just tried again filling all the fields in first, I'd left the date of birth out previously. I didnt get an error message this time, so fingers crossed it might have worked

[Chillum]

I was getting the same error using the "submit" button next to the Image selection box, but It seemed to work when I used the "submit" button at the bottom of the screen.

[Cetti]

Tried every permutation on the page Chillum, nothing works. It's horrible being grey, isn't it Skreecheeboy?

[Skreecheeboy]

Aye, the worst bit is having to type in my favourite quote every single time I try and get it sorted. It's like some big class divide.

[dot.hawkes]

I don't know why we can't have several avatars to use and i don;t know why there are those grey ones in three squares, unless they are for male female or other.

Hi Cetti, check your mobile number contains 11 numbers and not "NA" as I had written in mine!
