I have tried and tried to upload a avatar image from both my harddrive and from photobucket.com.
All I get is "Post requests from foreign hosts are not allowed".
Am I doing something wrong , or is there a prob somewhere else?
It's driving me nutz!!

Please help!

First off what size is the file ?

It can't be any larger than 60 x 60 px.

You are trying to upload it through your CP (control panel) Correct ?

Yeah Dennis , I am using the CP and I have it sized down to like 38x27. I tried at 57x46 with the same result.Any ideas I hope?
Thanks!

What format is it in ?

It's a JPEG image Dennis. Is that the problem maybe?

Well........ I'm over it! Apparently I am dumber than a bag of

! I can not only figure out how to get an avatar on , but the gallery does the same thing when I try to load pics!

I'll do without all the pics I guess!!

Try e-mailing it to someone else's (friend) puter and trying to load it from there. Maybe it is a problem with your puter.

Here is the file name that I used in the browse window for avatar upload.

How does it compare to the name you have of the file?

F:\My Pictures\larrysavatar

I just figured out the gallery thing, I'll try the avatar thing in about a week. I must give my brain a break!

Me and computer programs are about compatable as my cat & dog. At least they're smart enough to stay away from each other!
