I have used my rat terrier as my avatar all over the net but I cannot do it on phpbb's. Even here I run into the cannot be larger than 1 kb.
I have tried changing the kb size in my own boards but can't get it right, It still tells me cannot be over 1 kb.
I've used PhotoShop but cannot get it under 2 kb's
I clicked the properties on some avatars here and it shows bigger sizes.
How do I make this work? I would rather upload it to my site or even here than use this link.

The file size looks great, but the dimensions are too large, I think. Resize the original image to 80x80 pixels, or whatever the dimension limits are on the php boards. Then compress to JPEG format. Then it should work as an avatar. I think.
Edit: My avatar is 64x64, but your default one is 80x80. Check what the limits are on the profile page, where you upload your avatar to the board. |

testing 1...2...3...
Cool my Mikey is here!!! I love my baby boy
I don't know why it didn't work before. But anyway I resized the width to 80 and it auto did the height to 58 I also had PhotoShop to change the resolution from 90 something to 72. It works here now BUT>>>>>>>
When I go into my control panel on my site I have the height and width set to 80x80 but the file size says bytes not kb's so I still cannot upload him there. I tried 20 in there but it says no bigger than 0 kb's.....I guess I am suppose to figure out how to translate bytes to kb's as my control panel setting says bytes not kb's ....... Damn one of those math things and I am terrible at math. But I can change out your alternator or battery for you |

Well I checked here and saw Mikey was 17,177 so said o.k. will go to my control panel on my site and set it to higher. set at 20000 bytes it shows on the size restrictions in the profile that an avatar can be 80x80 and set the bytes to 20000 it also says 20 kb like I see it here. but when I try to upload I see all these warnings and errors and it won't take it.
I did get it to finally link from an outside site.
Guess there is something else that has to be set that I don't know about. |

If you have the image stored on your site and trying to link to it, are you sure you have the correct path? It has to be exact.

You can think of a KB as 1000 bytes. It is actually 1024 bytes, but 1000 will be close enough. So if you want to change your settings to allow for a 32 KB image, then your board needs to allow up to around 33000 bytes. The actual value is 32768 bytes; i.e. 1024 x 32 = 32768...

Thanks Nightrider...I played with it and have the bytes in control panel set to 25000 and it says 24 kb in the allowed in profile H & W are set to 80x80...But guess what??? I still cannot upload the same exact avatar that I have uploaded to here. I get all kinds of warning and errors in lines and such, then it blinks back to the main index of the board.
the one that is there is linked from an outside source. |

Make sure your images/avatars folder permissions are set to 777...

KeeKee the size of your avatar on your board is more than 80 pixels wide, don't know if that makes a difference but you did say you have it set to 80x80. The first screen shot is from your board and the second one is from our board. I don't think that kb size is correct in the second screen shot. Couldn't be that large ......?
