Author Topic: Forum avatars are still stupid?  (Read 844 times)

Trying to use this avatar:



Resized to 75x



And even when I sized it down to 74, it still gave me the "attachment couldn't be saved because it's too big" message. Is there some other oddly specific thing I have to do here?

some people import it into gimp and then export it so idk

That's exactly what I did. :U

something to do with removing the metadata?

It's filesize is too big.

Use something like tinypng to compress it.

yeah apparently uploading it to imgur then using that image



its working for me

also if you export with gimp, you have to let GIMP add a comment to the metadata
at least thats what seems to fix this bug with .gifs for me

Fixed, and you both are close - I indexed the color profile of the image in GIMP, which probably did bring the size down well enough. All is well, thanks.

Saw it coming, don't really mind that much.
