Avatar Problems.

[Nick M]

I tried to leave a link in my user CP for this avatar.

It states it's too big. :huh:

 

[SPeedY_B]

So whats the problem?
make it smaller...

Avatars may be a maximum of 100x100 and 50kb.

*chuckle*

Nick M: Max avatar size is 100x100. Yours looks like 130x100 or something.

 

[Nick M]

It's 100x82.

 

[sboulema]

maybe filesize is to big

 

[SPeedY_B]

yup, dimensions are fine, but the file is too large 154.25 KB (157956 bytes)

 

[Nick M]

Oh...* looks *

Crap!

154.25 KB instead of the allowed 50kb. Maybe EP can set the limit a bit higher? 50kb seems a bit small. Then perhaps I'm asking for too much

 

[SPeedY_B]

Think about the thousands of avatars stored in the database all roughly 50, now image the size of the database if they where all 150k which is three times as large.
The limits there for a reason. Other than bogging down the DB with (sort of) large images, its also for the dal-up users.

 

[sboulema]

try to make it with less images, crappier quality and optimize it, reduce colors. maybe you can get it down to 50kb and imagina how it looked like

 

[SPeedY_B]

Will this do ?

 

[SPeedY_B]

150k

50k

Obviously not as good quality, but you can still see whats going on

 

[Electronic Punk]

And just what is going on ?

I think the dimensions and sizes that I have set are already very generous.

Dimensions awesome. Sizes poopy! Up it too 100KB. Please? * mooches *

 

[sboulema]

would be very awesome if size limit is 100 kb

 

[SPeedY_B]

Not for the dial-up users it wouldn't

 

[sboulema]

hmm you got a point there, but 100kb as limit gives the dial up users a very good reason to finally get cable

 

[SPeedY_B]

if £10,000.00 magically appeared in my bank.. I still couldn't get a connection faster than dial-up, and this is the case for many people.
It's not a matter of choice, its the simple fact that its impossible.

 

[Nick M]

:huh: Service in some places is still unavaliable, which really sucks. Lots of places I really like have interenet access...but it's 56k.

The only local provider is the hick phone company

 

[Rigsta]

Yeesh, You broadband kids. The majority of internet users connect via dial-up ya know Ah well. That is why I have adshield... *blocks a stupid 800KB avatar on another forum* HAH!

 

[Zedric]

Yep 50k is definately generous. Not that it's a problem of mine... *cough* *10Mbit* *cough*
