What am I doing wrong? :rolleyes: You're not doing anything wrong. File systems have a minimum cluster size, so a very small file will still take up that minimum size on disk. When you upload your avatar, vBulletin will (should) see that the file is actually 7 KB and allow you to use it. I am seeing some compression artifacts in your avatar image, though. You're allowed up to 23.4 KB, so you might try using less JPEG compression. Disney4Me 09-09-2005, 10:36 PM You're not doing anything wrong.

THanks for the quick reply coronado_g 09-10-2005, 12:58 AM You're allowed up to 23.4 KB... I thought the max allowed was 19.5 KB. Andrew 09-10-2005, 01:14 AM I thought the max allowed was 19.5 KB. The maximum size of your custom image is 150 by 150 pixels or 23.4 KB (whichever is smaller). CrazyTrain 09-10-2005, 11:02 AM is that why I couldn't upload my 100 x 100 but 20 kb image? coronado_g 09-10-2005, 11:54 PM is that why I couldn't upload my 100 x 100 but 20 kb image? Gee...that sounds like it's well within the specs. |
