Problems with Avatars

Postby Shawn » Thu Aug 19, 2010 10:39 pm

I've been trying to change my avatar for awhile here, but its very difficult to do so as any picture found is either too large or the message says it has too many KiB is anyone else having this problem and is there a solution we can think of here? It seems like every picture found and even an icon size picture is rejected. Thanks!

What's with the 6 KiB avatar size requirement here?

A quick check of some other fantasy football and random internet message boards which I frequent show the size requirements at those sites are, for example, 12.7, 20.0, 48.8, and 97.7 KiB.

A small bump in allowable avatar size would be MUCH appreciated. :thumbup:

That was the default setting on the board when it was originally created. I've changed it to 20k. Hope that helps! KM

Hi guys, can you share suggestions for how to get my avatar below this tiny KB requirement?

I'm very proficient with technology and savvy with image editing programs (I've created avatars and designed signatures on many forums for the past 8 years), but I can't seem to get it within the range without making it tiny (i.e. 50 x 50).

Steps I've taken:
* Reduced image size
* Reduced image resolution
* Tried greyscale (B&W)

I see some people on here with great looking avatars and even gifs (i.e. the_lung ^), so I can only assume that there is some very fundamental thing I've missed.
