Avatar Error message?

[Goddess FallenAngel]

I know that you can't upload an avatar that is bigger than 64 x 64 pixels - what about if we're just linking to a avatar using that option, instead of trying to add it?

I tried adding a new one, and got the expected "too big" message. I tried linking to the avatar from my website, and got this message:

Error - cannot find an image at the specified URL. Please make sure that you have entered a valid URL.

It's not my web storage space hanging up, as I use the avatar on another forum by linking to it. Is the bigger than 64 x 64 size the problem when linking as well?

The link you're pointing to is http://home.comcast.net/~goddessfal...ingedbeauty.gif literally (it includes the ellipses). That's probably why it doesn't work. I don't see an image when I cilck on the link.

Sorry about that. It's because I had cut-and-pasted the message from this thread, where I didn't get an answer to the question.

Correct link is http://home.comcast.net/~goddessfallenangel/wingedbeauty.gif

And yes, this is the one I get the error message with. I'll correct the first post.

Since the "64 by 64" message comes below both textboxes, I would assume it applies to either type of avatar, linked or uploaded.

Some people have bigger than 64 x 64 avatars, and I didn't recall seeing them in the standard, so I thought I'd ask - that, and I'm actually getting an error message instead of the 'avatar too large' message.

Several of the "stock" avatars are larger than 64x64. And admins are able to use larger avatars as well.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Maybe the ones I've seen are admins.

I'd still like to know about the error, though...

Maybe Michael will stop by in a bit and clear it up. I am thinking Reveal might be right though, it doesn't even like avatars larger than 64x64 even when hosted on another server.

I'd love to know how Micheal Morris can have a different pic for every post he makes....


But I do believe he's still busy with his ill father who'd just had triple bypass surgery recently.

Too big. (You need to chop the sides down or give me the url for the original artwork and I will do it for you. )
