Avatar Uploading Error
Filesize is too large. Max size is bytes.
^ I get that error when I try to upload a 30KB-ish 100x100 avatar. The filesize and width/height limits aren't causing this, since they are 100x100, and MUCH more than 30KB.
I'm thinking the script is acting up somehow, because I would think it should say the amount of bytes for the max size, instead of nothing.

Re: Avatar Uploading Error
Blah. No number is being displayed due to a language file problem.
The board assumes X * Y * 3 as the filesize, which is generous for still images but not so for animated avatars. For bandwidth reasons, I really wouldn't recommend anything larger than that.
If you do want something larger, I can send you the fixed avatar uploader (which shows the proper error message), but with a larger size limit.

Re: Avatar Uploading Error
This will allow much larger avatar filesizes: Large Avatar Support
My algorithm essentially disallows avatars that compress poorly or have too many frames of animation. A 100*100 TrueColor bitmap has 10,000 pixels at 24 bits per pixel, so uncompressed, it should be 30K. A 100*100 GIF should be 10K, plus the color lookup table.
30K is much too large for a non-animated avatar. That's worse than a BMP or any other uncompressed format! Chances are it is a JPEG with a color profile. That's bad, because color profiles tend to be very large and many web browsers do not support them. Try resaving the image with a low-end graphics program to strip the color profile, or convert it to a GIF (many graphics programs these days will preserve color profiles when saving PNG images).
You could also send it to me via e-mail, and I'll fix it.

Re: Avatar Uploading Error
The weird thing is...it's a PNG.

That's the image. If you happen to know why it's a tiny bit over 30kb, I'd be glad to hear it.
(I'll try out that file this morning, and see if it works.)
EDIT: w00t, it worked perfectly.
