Topic: Uploading avatar problems!

Okay for some reason when i tried to upload an avatar it said "sorry the image is too large". So then i had a friend of mine create me a 70x70 avatar through gimp,i tried to upload it then it said "sorry the file is too big the limit is 10,200 or something. So then he changed the file to a gif file and made it smaller then 10,000 and now it said "sorry the file can't upload it has to be a gif,jpg,or some other file. Well it WAS a gif file.

What do i do? I keep running into issues,this is the hardest site to get an avatar out.:twitch:

That error message needs to be re-written because the forum doesn't allow .gif files, as is stated in the info on the avatar upload page anyway.  You need to upload a .jpg or .png that is below the limit, basically.  Most image editing programs should have a .jpg compress option that would make that fairly simple to do.

You're not allowed gif avatars to stop people having animated avatars; they were a bit distracting.
