Richard Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Hi James I've been tring to upload an avatar; but I can't get one accepted. the file is less than 12K and is 79 x 79 pixels. However I get a message saying 'filetype must be jpg, gif or png at the top of my details - and I've tried all three of those filetypes. I must be doing something very wrong - any suggestions? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omlet Staff james Posted November 13, 2004 Omlet Staff Share Posted November 13, 2004 Hi Richard, There is definitively something wrong with the Avatar settings... but I haven't figured it out yet . With a bit of luck it should be working by monday. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowingsheep Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Hi James Dunno if this'll help you track it down... but although I'm getting the same thing on trying to upload an image and I couldn't get the 2nd option, "Upload Avatar from a URL" working either, the 3rd option, ie linking to an off-site image, seems to work ok. (May be something to do with write permission of incoming files? But I'm just guessing, so please don't hold me to that! ) Richard - so if you can upload your avatar elsewhere, I've stuck one on my website for now, you can get it working.

Omlet Staff james Posted November 13, 2004 Omlet Staff Share Posted November 13, 2004 Hi Glowingsheep, Thanks for testing that third options, I hadn't tried it. I thought it might be the read write options on the server, but those don't seem to change anything. I'll get there in the end.

Richard Posted November 14, 2004 Author Share Posted November 14, 2004 Well, I've got the picture - but it says 'Frenquent Layer' underneath. not sure where that came from! I'll get it right in the end! thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 14, 2004 Author Share Posted November 14, 2004 Ah ... is it something to do with the number of posts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 No Richard - it appears to be random and may change BUT it is still spelt incorrectly, unless I'm missing the point somewhere? Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omlet Staff james Posted November 14, 2004 Omlet Staff Share Posted November 14, 2004 Hi, The words below the image are rankings, which relate to the number of posts that you have written - it goes: 0 Freshly Laid Egg + 10 Frenquent Layer + 50 Chicken Eggspert + 100 All Knowing Superhen I wonder who will get to the All Knowing Superhen first?

Nicola H Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Hi, How do you get the animated avatars like Lesley and Carl or Kates I think they are brilliant, I can't seem to get the avatar gallery to work I am going round in circles like the chickens help.

Lesley Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Hi Nicola If you put 'chicken animations' into Google there are quite a few free animations which you can right click on and save . Unfortunately, a lot of them are too big to be used but it's fun looking. I used www.backyardchickens.com and found them in Fun Pages. Have fun Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hi Nicola, Looking forward to seeing what you choose! It's easy to put the avatar on - if I can do it, anyone can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hi Lesley, Thanks for that I will have a play today and I am sure I will suceed. When looking for animations on the computer last night I found out that there is a new film out next year called chicken little (stuart little with a chickens head) looks good fun.

Nicola H Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 At long last I've done it I am now a clockwork chicken had to move fast though you are right Kate there are not a lot of animations left on the site that are small enough. I was pipped at the post by Sarah great fun I can now eat lunch starving after all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 (edited) I think there's only one left now - the white chicken! Lesley Edited November 15, 2004 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo M Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I think I've cracked it - let's see if it works when I post this ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Aren't all these Avatars great. I hadn't come across Babs&Ginger's before - what a cracker, Nicola! I wonder how many other pictures will appear. It's great because you can tell who the message is from by the Avatar instead of the signature now! Well done James for letting us have a little fun on the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hi Kate the file size was bigger than 12k on this animation but it worked any way I admit I did have to get my husband to help me I am not very computer literate just getting the hang of it, noticed you are nearly up to 100 postings think you will win I am trying to get to the next stage of the ratings as you can see. Putting lots of emoticons doesn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
