Title: Need an other favor
Post by: Mitch on March 06, 2006, 12:49:54 AM

Can you guys upload some of your personal avatars to www.avatar-gallery.com and let me know if it uploads and displays in the new avatars page correctly. Thank you in advance. There may be some scooby snacks involved. ;)

I tried to upload the Texas flag I used to use, but I got the message:

 Sorry could not upload avatar, please review our upload policies

My filename was tx_flag_60.jpg, (plus a path to the place on my machine), it is 2kb in size.
I'm not sure how this breaks the policies.

Sorry, I forgot the 'e' in jpeg within the code, it should work now.

I tried again and it still didn't work.  (Same error message).
I tried to give both the pathname on my machine, as well as an http link, no luck for either.

What username are you using?

'Mark Kness' (without the quote).  There is a space in it, which conceivably is problematic.

Yes that was the problem, but I fixed it. It can handle spaces now.

It still isn't working for me.  

BTW - After I tried specifying the file via http link, the text to the right of the 'Submit Avatar' button changed to something like 'application/octet-stream' or such.  (I didn't write it down).  Don't know if that is a clue.

Don't use the http, just use the browsw button to navigate to it. I'm surprised this isn't working. Its worked for others. hmmm...

Tried again, making sure I was using the browse button, and still no go.   :(

Can you upload the file to this thread. I'm getting very curious now.

Here it is.

Title: Re:Need an other favor

It uploaded just fine. I din't even type in a user name or anything.

I just tried uploading it, leaving the user name blank, and it claimed to work.
Then, I tried again, giving my correct username as 'Mark Kness' (no quotes), and it gripes.

So the username must be the problem somehow?

try again? With Mark Kness and everything.

Success!!

I don't get any error messages, and looking at the new avatars, I see one uploaded by Mark_Kness that I think is the one I just did.
(I guess you turned the space into an underscore?)

Yeah, sorry for all the hassle. :)

I like the site, too bad it'll never be used by anyone. But' I still like it and always wanted to make a site like that.

Now I need to go fufill all my other childish whims. If anyone needs a webprogrammer for anything let me know. :P
