    avatar? :)

    Pretty self explanatory, I guess! How does one upload their avatar (I tried and mine didn't work) and what are the dimensions for one?

    Thanks guys!

    hey Lent.

    mines 80 x 80 px. 4kb insize and RGB colour.

    when you upload it, it could take a little while for it to show up. sometimes it's finicky too so if you may need to try more than once. upload it and give it 15-20 minutes. if it's not up by then try again.

    thanks kindly, fable :D
    unfortunately, i -tried- to upload my avatar two days ago and it hasn't shown up, so i'm assuming it doesn't plan on doing so! xP
    anywho, i'll try an 80x80 image and see what happens.

    The image size has to be exactly 80 by 80 pixels. Do this via 'image size' in photoshop and you should be ok

    also check that the 'make avatar public' (or something like that) checkbox is ticked.

    Also, make sure its a jpg not a jpeg.

    Re: avatar? :)

    Go to the image menu, down to where it says mode. If it says RGB then you are ok, if it says CMYK or any of the others you should probably set it to RGB for the avatar.
