can't upload an avatar

[tomasz]

Hiya, just wanted to upload an avatar, but got this message:

"The upload failed. Please contact a member of staff to help rectify the problem "

yeah because the avatar must be linked to an image that is already on the web....

we have not activated the upload avatar
it's not so hard to place it on a free web space ^__^

if you still have a problem email me with the avatar i'll fix that... [email protected]

 

[tomasz]

ok, that's fine, but wouldn't it then be better to remove the option to upload the avatar?

Tomasz

 

[KiVan]

thanks for the suggestion we will see what we can do

edit: i fixed it now the upload avatar options does not show..
you won't be confused anymore

How do you upload images from your own PC?

 

[KiVan]

you can't... you have tu put it on a webspace you have

 

[Zabet]

any chance of changing that? maybe if i ask real nice PLEASE

 

[neocat]

I don't have any webspaces.

 

[Alexander]

lycos permits free accounts and external link.. so it's perfect for your purpose

 

[ruffmeister]

just find a good site where you have found a nice pic and use that simple

 

[SMN]

it's better if he could sign up a free acct like Alexander said above. Depending on a good site with the pix is not a good idea (unless you're too lazy to do it the other way) because if that good site is down or gone then your alvarta is gone as well

http://www.boomspeed.com/
offers 1mb for free accounts, but that should be more than enough when ur just using it for storing sigs and avatars

Trune here,

[email protected] add me and ill put it up on my server. ^^ finally got it running.

Its still a free server, www.flatface.net but they hand select you, 200mb free, perl, cgi, ftp uploading, etc..
But they don't always accept you

I was 'special'

 

[MasterOfTehRom]

i signed up for lycos/tripod but it wont let me externally link

. see this graphic it gives me

 

[D2_]

yeah sometimes it wont work. and i would also like to mention that u try the host i told u above. ^

 

[Trune]

Trune here,

Or you come to good ol' Truney boy here, lol

 

[MasterOfTehRom]

Doh, that boomspeed.com is no longer accepting free accounts. Oh well, I went ahead and signed up for a pay account with doteasy.com. only 25$ a year for 20Mb of webspace, and no adds or anything, plus i got my own .com

Soon to be www.superfilez.com. Couldn't think of anything original

 

[D2_]

unless ur making a full site or something, i dont really see the reason for paying 25 bucks just to have a place to put ur pics

if u want a place to put it so badly just send me the file in msn and ill upload it.
[email protected]

im online right now so u can send me an IM

 

[Trune]
