Tech Note: Uploading Personal Icons

• Views: 2,522

From a glance at the PHP error logs I can see that more than a few registered lizards are having trouble uploading an image for their personal icon. The most common causes are:

* Trying to upload an image that’s too large. We don’t have unlimited storage space for images, so I’ve limited the size of uploaded files to 32K (it used to be 16K but I just doubled it). The image file you upload must be less than or equal to 32,768 bytes in size, or it will not work. This is by far the most common cause of problems, so check the file size before uploading.

* Trying to upload an image that’s not in one of three accepted formats: JPEG, GIF, or PNG. BMP files will not work. TIFF files will not work. JPEG, GIF, or PNG, please. This isn’t Flickr.

Here’s a very good online image editing site that can help you massage your personal icons into shape for uploading to LGF: Picnik - edit photos the easy way, online in your browser.
