Trouble With Custom Rank and Avatar Upload

Post Reply New Topic

I just joined a little bit ago, and im having trouble editing my custom rank. When I click on "edit my custom rank", it just takes me to the avatar upload page. Is anyone else having this problem? How do I edit my custom rank?

Also speaking of avatars...
Id like to have my own avatar, but when I went to upload it, it said I needed a picture of less than 160x130 pixels...the avatar I uploaded was 155x110-something. Yes it was a .jpg and yes it was less than the maximum kilobyte allowance.

You must have over 1000 posts for a custom rank.

For the avatar issue, I don't know. It does seem rather picky.

Ah, ok. Well, thats a ways to go then.

Hmm...ill have to make my avatar really small then. Ill see if that works. Thanks for the reply!

The width and height limits are exactly what they say, I think.

I've found that the "16KB" can be a little misleading. I'm pretty sure it is 16,000 bytes. I.e. it is not "16KiB", which is 16,384 bytes.

Depending on how old your software is, a file reported as "KB" may still be showing what multiple of 1,024 bytes the file is, and even that may be an approximation.

What exactly do you get reported as the error?

"The avatar must be less than 130 pixels wide and 160 pixels high"

My computer really isnt even that old. I self-built it and the hardware is reletively new. No more than 3 years old. Yeah, thats kinda old in the computer world, but its not the like I still use windows '98. As for my software, it should be up to date.

It might be the file size then, because the image I tried uploading was 160x120 pixels.
...wait...I just checked the size. Its 12,288 bytes, so thats about 12 KB. This is odd.

Woops! lol I figured it out. I got the 160 and 130 reversed. Nevermind
