Host it to image shack or flicker or whatever, if you are already doing that then I don't know.
My guess is that the file itself has some file extension issues.
Do you have your computer set up to show file extensions or do you hide it?
I tried to use an image directly off my computer. So I should host it on ImageShack? Then what? Use the direct link like any other photo?
I'm not computer savvy I'll admit that. What would a file extension issue be? Something incompatible with GTP you mean? What should I look for? I wouldn't even know where to look to set up hiding extensions or not...lol..
I am trying to upload an avatar I created and I keep getting the notice that the upload failed. Dimensions are 82 x 85, 8.6 kb so it's not a size issue. It's saved as a PNG file. Tried several times and keep getting the "upload failed" message...any ideas?
I've never been able to direct upload to gtp, not sure why. It's never really bothered me enough to look into extensions etc. So yes, uploading to a file hosting site and then using the pic url is how I do it. There is an option in the avatar settings that says something like "choose online url" or some sort. Just cut and past as you would embed an image.
I'm not positive about bmps, but png's are definitely allowed.BobKComing VERY late to the party here, but I believe avatar images must be either .gifs or .jpg files. In particular no .bmps and I believe no .png's.
Regardless of where it comes from (uploaded from your computer or a website), all avatars are hosted on GTP's server.I didn't know you could put an avatar image on an external site. When I had an avatar for a brief time, I'd uploaded it to GTP. That was about two years ago, I believe.
Many internetz for the user who can turn this into an avatar.
The limits are 120x120 and 25k.
Would somebody be able to turn this into a Premium Size avatar? Please.
