Avatar Uploading Error
Hi -
Getting a wee bit frustrated - have followed the HDF instructions for uplading an avatar - have resized my jpg file a number of times down to 145x145 and again to 100x100, yet every time I choose the picture and try to upload it for my avatar I get an "Error Saving To Disk" message and then have to cancel. Even chose one of the canned avatars (which works) thinking maybe I need to have one before it can be replaced. But no luck. I'm on a Mac using OSX 10.4.8 and have resized trying PhotoShop, PhotoStudio and Preview and always saved as a .jpg file. Always get the same error. All file sizes are around 8 to 16kb. Any ideas what I can try to do to solve this? Have a copy of a Dave Mann print I've been trying to use, but will try some other pics in case there's a problem in the file itself.
Thanks in advance,
Chip

Chip,
Either emailme Terry@hdforums.com or pm me the full size (or largest) picture of your avatar and I'll check it out for you. I can usually get them to install with no problems.

RE: Avatar Uploading Error
OK Chip,
I have the one up and installed for you. I seem to be having problems with the other one. I can keep working on it if you like. Here is what I did. I resized both pictures to 100x100 and saved them in my pictures. I logged on as you and went to "My Profile" (yours) and clicked on the upload avatar. I broused and found my picture and uploaded it. When it said "Uploaded Successfully" I clicked OK (you have to do that) and then I scrolled to the bottom of the "My Profile" page and clicked OK or Apply (you have to do this to save the changes). After doing this I was not happy with the size of your avatar so I changed it to 120x120. Sometimes that will work and sometimes it won't. It depends on the quality of the picture.

Terrific Terry!
Thanks so much, that Tom Frita one will be fine. I was just about to trying working on that one myself when you first emailed me - suspect a problem in the file or the odd dimensions of the Dave Mann pic must've been responsible for the error.
Have a great day!

Glad you like it. I thought both pictures were pretty cool but this one is just more interesting. If you need help with anything else just give me a shout.
