Avatar not Updating


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

I searched for info on my problem but this is the closest topic I could find about uploading avatars. I cannot seem to upload one. Every time I try uploading a picture from my computer it says "Failed to set a new photo". When I try importing a photo from a URL (photobucket), it says it cannot connect to the server. I wonder if I am doing something wrong? Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks!

If i may ask how could i minimize it, whenever i try it doesnt shrink.

1. Calculate roughly what percentage about 300 to 400 is of the image's width in pixels.

2. Load the image in Windows Paint (this can actually be done with any image editing program, but I'm using what's already on Windows PCs for simplicity)

3. Under the Image menu, choose "Resize/Skew..."

4. Set both the horizontal and vertical resize settings to roughly the percentage determined in step 1 (it doesn't have to be exact, but make sure you use the same number for both). Leave the skew settings alone and hit OK.

5. Save the image under a new filename and then upload it here.

(edited a day later to clarify something I missed in step 4)
