Sorry if this is the wrong section, i didn't want to put this under help because that is ESF related. Whenever i try to upload my avatar it says Upload Failed. It is 28.4 KB and 100x100 Pixels, and i tried it in JPG and GIF form. Whats going on?

I just tried it and it didn't work for me, even with using the same exact avatar I used to use.

Paging Skyrider!

Thanks for replying guys, i will try making it 90X90. Also, as I get more into the community, will the max KB count change? I spent hours making an animated avatar (80KBs when 100X100) but its over the max count :(, thanks again for replying :)

Yea, I'm familiar with the issue. For some reason all uploads (including attachments) is failing. I am not sure why or what is causing this, so I'll have to look in deeper to find the real cause.

As long the animated avatar is not redicilous big in file size, you should be fine. I'll still have to fix the issue though.

Well if worst comes to worst. You can still host the avatar on imageshack or something like that and link from the forums (atleast you could do that in the past ^^)

Well it works for my normal avatar :)

Do i get extra avatar space later on though? My animated avatar (h.ttp://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3542/vegetablue.gif) is too large, i tried reducing it to 90x90 (h.ttp://img12.imageshack.us/img12/5508/vegetabluesmall.gif) but "the remote file is too large" still :/ The 100X100 is 80KBs and the 90X90 is 71.8KBs

Thanks for the help though, at least i have an avatar now :)

Try now, I've changed the max avatar size to 100kb. At least, should be 100 now.

Actually, changing max avatar file sizes is quite easy to do. And with my "love", we also got some nifty features around here :p.

Indeed we do. Now you need to get one of those 24 SSD Samsung Computers that you shown me.

Uploading 2gbs in a second..... jesus.....
