Good Morning!
I am attempting to attach an Avatar. It doesn't seem to be saving. I have a .gif file saved on c: - I am using the Control Panel browse option to find it then am hitting the save button. It doesn't seem to be saving on the CP page. What am I doing wrong? Help??

Thanks!!

the picture has to be small. 80x80 pixels.

can you post it here and let me check the size?

or if you right click the picture..then click properties it will tell you the size.

i can help shrink most pictures.

I must have totally done something wrong - when I try to look at the saved file on my computer - it is blank. I do have another one that seems to have worked and it is an explorer file - maybe I should try it?

when i change my avatar it will often say it's not saved but then I go check on one of my posts and the new one is showing.. I don't know why..

So if you get a message saying it's not saved or loaded - go check one of your posts to see if it really is or not.

It doesn't look to be saving correctly on my c: drive..... it appears to be blank. I am right clicking and selecting "save picture as" and choosing .gif - does that look right?

I just did it with a glitter graphic avatar.

I think I'll keep that one for awhile - I like it.

So you clicked the graphic you wanted correct?
then on the next page down below it says "click here to download"
then a little window pops up and tells you to "save as" or "save image as"
that's where I right clicked and did the save -and saved in in my pictures area.

then went to the User CP page here and avatar section
then used the Browse to locate the saved graphic - size was fine as it was - and clicked to upload it.

I do get this notice every time - Upload of file failed.

But my new avatar always shows - so don't believe that notice if you get it.
