posting an avatar

I've been trying to upload an avatar picture, but it won't.
It's a jpeg, 23.5 kb, 326x234 72 dpi
What am I doing wrong?

It can't be any bigger then 125 X 125 pixels at 37.5 Kb. Reduce your pixels.

Re: posting an avatar

Apparently I screwed up, actually I mean the "profile picture", is that the one that that shows up on the left side when you post?

The Avatar is the one to the left of your post......like the Sea Shepherd one I just did.....

Edit: some forums have a size limit on Avatars depending on whether you are a supporter or not, not sure about CF though....

That's possible. I'm getting the size info off MY User CP. Contact a moderator. http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...in-118144.html

Re: posting an avatar

I was gunna say if it was a personal pic... maybe it was some type of sophisticated ugly filter???

But mine made through... So probably not...

Re: posting an avatar

Stu is correct. Max size is 80 x 80 pixels or 25KB (whichever is smaller).

This kind of thing eats my lunch, I can "field strip" a Diesel in my sleep, but this computer stuff? not so much.
