Don't you also have to modify the kb on the picture - if it's too large, the pic won't upload. From memory you also had to have the website address. I could be wrong, but maybe FD will confirm it.

Yeah, freediver is pretty tight fisted on the size so it does need to be modified to fit.

Willy if you have a pic you want to put up I can re-size it for you if you like. Let me know.

The reason for that is that it slows the forum down. It's silly to have a big file to produce a tiny thumbnail.

If the file is hosted elsewhere, I don't think the size matters (though it will still slow down the site). It only rejects big files if you try the option of loading from your PC. I can also help with resizing if you want. Another option is to load it onto the gallery (see link above) which will generate a thumbnail automatically. You can then enter the thumbnail URL.

Also willy you have been logged out so you will have to log back in first.

Clear as mud?

Why have a tiny thumbnail? A decent size avatar looks cool.

Re: KEVIN RUDD'S APOLOGY Reply #20 - Feb 21^st, 2008 at 1:50pm Are you saying you want bigger avatars, or are the current ones sufficient? that's what I meant by tiny - when the image gets that small it takes up very little bandwidth.

Big ones. At least 150 x 150 pixels and 50 kbs in size.

Start a new thread titled 'avatar size' or something like that. I will give it a try for you and see what the other members think.

Nothing is worse than great huge pictures with heaps of flashing lights and movements. Very trashy. This forum needs to be streamlined even more - not enhanced by huge pictures which take ages to load up.

This is a symptom of freediver's stinginess in wishing people to have microscopic images. I can resize it for you - post the url if you want me to do that mate.

Willy - I don't think you can send the photo through messages - so you'll have to post your photo on one of the threads to FD or DT. To attach it just click on "Browse" underneath the message and your picture should be either in your "pictures" or maybe "documents". Type in the name of the picture you have saved where it says "file" and then press the "open" button next to where you've typed the name. Or it might come up automatically. Then just press "post".

The URL is the name of the site where you got the picture from - if that's what you want to use.

FD or DT can downsize it for you and send it back.
