Re: why can't I change the picture on my gallery!!!!?

It has updated, but your internet browser probably has the old picture saved. You just need to clear your cache ^^ If you don't know how to do it read the instrustions here: http://kb.iu.edu/data/ahic.html


http://i52.tinypic.com/5es7t0.png I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Re: why can't I change the picture on my gallery!!!!?

It still didn't work for some odd reason. Should I clear my cache again?

Hmmmm that's strange. Did you follow all the steps correctly?
I have no idea why that is happening. Can you perhaps provide some more details of your actions?

Re: why can't I change the picture on my gallery!!!!?

I really believe there is a size limitation on the image file as well.  Just wish I knew what that limit was!  I'll see if I can find out.

Re: why can't I change the picture on my gallery!!!!?

The file types accepted are jpeg, png, bmp and gif.  The max file size that will be accepted is 90800 bytes.  So, if your file type is one of those listed above and the size is under 90 kb, it should go up.  If it doesn't...you may have some odd variant of the file type that is causing trouble, try using an image editor to convert it to another one of the accepted file type and try again.  Be sure to clear the cache after every attempt.  Hope that helps!

Go to your "My Stuff" area and look up by the picture in the upper left area.  Click on the text "Change Picture".  Make sure that the picture you choose is smaller than 90800 bytes.

Are you having trouble changing your gallery pictures too?  Have you read the whole thead here and made sure:

  1. Your file is one of the accepted file types (jpeg, png, gif, bmp)

  2. The file size is less than 90800 bytes

  3. You clear the browser cache using one of the techniques recommended by MyRedNeptune

If you have tried all those and you are still having trouble, please let me know so I can report it to the development team.

The bug is that you don't get feedback when your picture was not accepted: A Solution for that ScratchR-bug  is in development with Ticket:
#125 uploaded Gallery Picture shows up with strong delay

Someone told me it was 90kb or less... but that doesn't seem to work... I converted one of my pics to a 45kb size, and it did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!


Signatures are for n00bs.  That's why I don't use mine!
...wait.

With me too! I tried tons of file formats, all below the file size limit, and nothing happened.

Sorry you're having trouble with it.  There's a fix in the works...not sure when it will be released but it should be soon.

Re: why can't I change the picture on my gallery!!!!?

Hmmm...I have a bit of an argument:Bitmaps take up loads of space, so they're not the best things to use.  But even with a small PNG image file, my change isn't working.  I really don't want to clear my cache, either; my dad would probably kill me.  So I've got a problem.  sad

90800 bytes is actually 88.67 kb.  tongue
