Author Topic: My attachment couldn't be saved? (Read 850 times)

fastlex isn't right, it's not bc of the format, it's bc of the way the image is saved in whatever program you're using. specifically, something about the file header, according to some SMF guys
my avatar was a png and it worked

How exactly, did you export it as .PNG?

EDIT: Seems to work for me with these settings.

i tried to use .pngs and .jpegs when i first joined

only a few worked, so i messed around with a few different formats, and .gif worked for transparency, so i chose that

I used paint.net and the only real object it gave was 24bit.
There were dithering and quality options but they were greyed out.

because you don't need that in a 24-bit png?
if you change it to 8-bit, you'll enable the dithering/alpha options

Just tell it that it needs to accept Christ as its lord and savior

if that doesn't solve the problem then its probably damned to hell
