Avatar woes

[andyiscool]

So, I am at a loss as to why we need to have an avatar if we don't want to... I'm guessing its to stop people spamming posts... Fair enough.

The problem is that I have been trying a few different random pictures that are within the restrictions (100x100 pixels//small size) but it always has an upload error.

If anybody has any suggestions for this, I would love to hear them

first, off, yes the avatar requirement is to take down spambots. it works fine btw.

and, if you really, really cant upload an avatar, you might have some luck pming one
of the admins. o and im also like, whats with a newly joined, 1 post member talking
about the need to have an avatar? T_T

Also you need to input an location^_^

Make sure your avatar meets the following specifications

Current image:
Maximum dimensions; width: 100 pixels, height: 100 pixels, file size: 107kB.

JPEG/JPG files are ok. bmp for instance not. Idk about other extensions.

haha... I was stupid, when i originally posted this, I thought
that you had to have an avatar to reply... I guess its just to
post new topics. Man I can be a 'tard sometimes.

Anyway, I was just wondering about that, as the images i was using,
I would copy the image/location, it would be a jpg, etc. But it wasn't
working.

Ty for the clarification

EDIT: never mind... I am talking about the need to have an avatar because i CAN NOT post without one, it refuses to let me

Is there some way to get around it? maybe upload an invisible avatar? i really dont want an avatar...

[andyiscool]

Yea... I agree, I have seen some people around with no avatars... How do ya do that? I'm not too bothered with one.

Upload a very small (1x1) avatar?

[andyiscool]

No no here is the problem... I tried a bunch of different pictures, all way smaller than 100x100, jpg, jpeg, whatever else... none of them worked, that is the problem.

Upload a very small (1x1) avatar?

and make it transparent as well.

what's wrong with having an avatar? it lets people recognize who you are.

I have no problem with having an avatar, I want to have one, but it WON'T LET ME UPLOAD AN IMAGE, even if I provide the image AND location..... That is why I don't want to have to get one, because i CAN'T.

OK... So, here is the deal. (one more problem) I have the avatar up for my account (as you can see) but it still won't let me post. It said to post here if I have this problem?
