westeerove Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I'm new and tryingto upload a picture to my profile in the "User CP" area, but I get a message saying "Unable to save image" although the image is within the size requirements. Can someone suggest a resolution, please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westeerove Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Unable to save image Ta. I will do but I have tried with several images, both jpeg and gif with same result. They are certainly not too big. I thought it might be a server side error, but cant be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Unable to save image I think the dimensions displayed say a max of 120x120? That's wrong I think - needs to be max 80x80. (unless you're an admin/mod) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datapunter Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Unable to save image Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 150 by 150 pixels or 78.1 KB (whichever is smaller). that's what mine says :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Unable to save image Ah - sorry - 150x150. It says the same (I think) for us mortals but I think we're restricted to 80x80 (I might try bigger later, just to find out once and for all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Unable to save image I'm wrong - just looked and it says: Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 80 by 80 pixels or 78.1 KB (whichever is smaller). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datapunter Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Unable to save image Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 80 by 80 pixels or 78.1 KB (whichever is smaller). ahhh, this is for the "common" folks then :moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datapunter Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Unable to save image got a sneaky suspicion it may have something to do with file upload privileges, which i have set to become available only when one reaches 50 posts, but don't know if that affects avatars.

Datapunter Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Unable to save image strange one, stripped datapunter2 of all privileges and didn't get any error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datapunter Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Unable to save image Wait a minute, westeerove, are you talking about a "profile picture" or an "avatar picture" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datapunter Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Unable to save image I can do an Avatar with "Edit avatar" but i can't do a profile picture with "Edit profile picture". You sure you want a profile picture ? Don't think anyone uses that :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datapunter Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Unable to save image Even as moderator i'm getting "unable to save picture" with the "Edit profile picture" option. USE EDIT AVATAR solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westeerove Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Re: Unable to save image USE EDIT AVATAR solved. Yes. indeed. I saw the Edit Profile first so just assumed to try that. Thanks for the help. Was it all worth it for a picture of baldrick :clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
