Re: I Can't Upload A New Icon Picture!!!!

What exactly happens when you try to upload a different picture?

It always says, "File too large to upload"  or somthing like that.

In that case, it's too large. Try resizing the image to a smaller resolution.

Re: I Can't Upload A New Icon Picture!!!!

I have had this problem before. You have to play around with the resolution and size to try to make it work. What program did you make it in?

I use Inkscape to draw my stuff. How do you resize it without cutting out something important?

Use GIMP to scale it down.

There are many ways, photoshop, possibly the program you use or sometimes, I'll even bring it in to scratch, make it smaller and export it back out.

Re: I Can't Upload A New Icon Picture!!!!

you can use any program that draws, (Paint, GIMP, etc.) try to size it right, i have never had this problem before ;o but if you play with sizes if its too big , it should work. and if you want a GIF , moving icon try going to : gikr  or if you want one on the forums, go to tinypic choose the sizing, prefferably "messageboard" , upload the pic , copy and paste the link that says "forums and messageboards" URL Hope this helps  big_smile

Then they're probably too large.

Resize/Scale it with any image editing program to a smaller size. Try to make it around 80 x 80 px.
