Koku Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I have been helping PIRILAO on his avatar and his last action, uploading the picture, was not successful. The Error saids.... Board Message Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information. The error returned was: You are not allowed to upload that type of file as an avatar or personal photo Could Admin (Europa, Orioni) or anyone help him out??? Here is the thread he had posted his problem... (Art Gallery) http://s7.invisionfree.com/Europa/index.ph...0entry2628838 Link to comment
Europa Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Strangly enough, the forum doesn't seem to allow jpg's as a valid file for avatars. It's probably better to use a "gif" file in stead. Try saving the image as a gif-file (although the quality of the colors may worsen a bit), and then try uploading it. You also could upload it somewhere, and then link to that image. There're several free picture servers out there (imageshack,..). Or you could upload it as your nations flag at Nationstates. Note, then your picture has to be: 1. in JPEG (.jpg) format (or .gif) 2. about 107x71 pixels in size (the mods aren't too picky on that, unless it's really gigantic 3. no larger than 10KB 4. appropriate. This means conforming to site etiquette and being suitably flag-like. Images likely to cause widespread offense (e.g. nudity, swastikas) are prohibited, and your nation may be deleted if you post them. Link to comment
Haken Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 My avatar is .jpg and I didn't upload it from any nation. Link to comment
Europa Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Well, I would have sworn it accepted jpg too, since that's about the standard picture file,.. but when I tried to upload that portuguese avatar, I got that error message. Strange. Link to comment
Koku Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 Mine too, I used Jpg as avatar...with no problem... Is it a bug from the latest "out of memory crash" of NS ?? So, any advice to PIRILAO? Link to comment
Nevareion Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 We had a similar problem a while back. If you find you cannot upload any kind of picture, including in a post, then you should send a support ticket request through admin control and they will sort it. Link to comment
Pirilao Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I do not understand well what you want to say, but in any way I am thankful. Link to comment
Koku Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 I have changed the picture to 10kb Giff file. Click the link and do as I told you once again, this time, use the new picture. http://s7.invisionfree.com/Europa/index.ph...5entry2633957 (Art gallery) Link to comment
Orioni Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I have taken care of this problem and linked the image Koku provided to Pirilao's profile. As long as Koku doesn't take the image offline his new flag will be okay. I've added peoples flags before (ex. Europtima, Ide Jima, Manassa), it's really not that difficult. Link to comment
