I've tried several times to upload one since my 50th post. It always says " file too large " even though its been shrunk to 9 kb and then 7kb. I was able to load it as my personal photo but says its too large for the avatar. Tech support would be very helpful, thanks in advance.

A photo for an avatar here in the forums cannot be more than 145 pixels (length or width).

HERE is a great and free avatar shrinking website, if you want to try it out.

Blessings,
Sharon-Marie

Thank you blessings. I have tried several times to upload avatars that are smaller than 145 pixels so I guess I'll have to wait until a tech support person reads the thread and offers their assistance. Thanks again!

When you do try to upload the smaller avatars, are you clicking on "OK" or "Apply"? . . . both buttons can be found the bottom of the upload screen.

If you are clicking on "OK" . . . don't do that, click on "Apply" instead (it's a long-standing system glitch).

If you already are clicking on "Apply" . . . then, yes, someone else with more tech-savvy than me will need to help you.

I hope you get it figured out quickly.

thank you blessings. I was using a file that wasn't supported and your avatar site fixed it for me. Thank you!

Funny thing is, ok will work for some people but not apply, and apply will work for others and not ok. I am one that has to click apply but others have to click ok. Weird glitch indeed.

Really??!!!

Wow. Very weird, indeed.

That's good to know. Thanks, Kath!

I'll remember that for future reference.

you were so nice in helping me with my previous avatar issues I had another question. I have tried to upload a pic of my twin baby nieces as my avatar. It says " file too large " and then after shrinking it down to the right size at that avatar shrinking site and then try and upload it I get a " run time service error message " in the box. A friend told me it is probably a problem with cross walk but I'm not sure. Any suggestions?
thank you in advance.

I think that is caused by the site updates, Samson.

It should be resolved soon.

Thank you Ps103. Yes it is something on the CW end. I even tried to upload an avatar that I previously had on here and when I clicked OK it said " file too large"

I feel your pain Samson. That is why I have the lovely red x. Usually site modifications are taken care of quickly.

Good to know I am not the only one having this issue. I have tried to load jpg files that have been shrunk to the correct dimensions and are less than 10KB and get the "File is too large" error too.
