<img> tags don't work on this forum; you have to use the BBCode image tags.

The avatar's info page clearly says that it's jpg. When I upload it from my computer and say submit it says that it must be jpg,gif and the other thing when my image is clearly jpg! What's wrong!!???

I can't remember what the rules for sig pics are (dimensions, filesize) AND since I've never posted a pic in my sig, some good directions would be uber super...

If you think avatar troubles are annoying, try banner troubles...

I host here:

Photobucket.com

To keep my url short, I usually name the file something like, "2.gif".

...sure beats, "thisimageusedtohaveareallybiglongnamesoichangedit.gif"

...lol?

Anyway, I just wanted to make sure my avatar was legal. It's externally hosted, it's 80x80, but it's 7k. (gasp!)

Hope this post helps, and lemme know if my 1k over is a no no.

I totally think that they should change the rules for the avatars and sig.

I mean, it's just near-darn impossible to find a perfect avatar to fit into that small little hole!
And I have some pretty cool pictures too

LIES!

No, really. That's quite big compared to some forums. And think of the 56kers! If we had an option to turn off all sigs, than it would be reasonable, but now... that's a lot of extra traffic for some people.

Just make your own avatars - it's a guarantee they'll always be the right size.

OK! I suppose my avatar was indeed not going to sneak past the rules, lol.

<---So here's my shiny new one, in color! (and legal!)
