    Profile image concerns

    While sitting at my computer little over a few hours ago, I decided that a fresh new profile image was in order. So with excitement and delight I cruised the websites, downloading bits here and there, in the hopes of giving myself a nice new onscreen makeover. Well can you imagine my surprise on this not so fair morn, that no matter how hard I tried, the image would not be accepted. A bulletin message then promptly appeared stating an 'invalid upload' was the diagnosis for this perplexing situation. Gathering myself together, I checked and re-checked to see if the image did not conform to HPotD laws but, as it turned out, it's dimensions and format was indeed completely compatible. I attempted the proceedure again several times but to no avail and have since discovered (via Member's List) that I now have NO profile image whatsoever! At that point I screamed and blacked out. Now that I have fully recovered from this haunting ordeal (thanks to PG Tips and Jaffa Cakes) am I now fully able to tell my account to the world.

    P.S. Sorry if this post sounds strange but I fear I may have bumped my head on the keyboard (or desk) during my blackout and I have not been feeling the same since. What's going on?

    Been trying again and this damn thing isn't working. It is not even accepting the original profile pic that I normally go with.

    OK. first, check these:

    • Check the picture you are uploading is a valid image type, JPG, GIF, PNG... NOT .BMP
    • Check the image you are trying to upload does not exceed the size limit, which is 250x250 pixels.
    • Check the image does not exceed the maximum file size allowed, which is 150kb.


    If your image is good by all three of these checks and the forums still wont accept it, contact me.. i'll upload it for you and look into the problem further

    I've reproduced it... It's actually something to do with the new URL for the forum. Looking into it...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Try now! Should be resolved.

    The forum.homepageofthedead.com was causing the problem... I've fixed it now!
