<Background Image Instructions>

reply to post by monkeybus


Can you paste the url here?

Also you are aware that background images will repeat to fill all the profile space?

Sure thing. it is

files.abovetopsecret.com...

Ok if you want to use that image you will need to delete it from your upload space....rename the file to something shorter than like 7 characters and re-upload the image to your member upload space.

When you entered this file name in the store:

ats59379_Lizard_man_background_avatar.jpg

It failed because the file name was too long and was cut off. I'll take care of your points so you can try again.

This has been a great help. I'm still thinking of my options and will soon make the move...............

i've got the best background pic ever!! BUT, i can't get it any smaller than 133KB!

is there any hope?? the image dimensions are 166 x 3547 - yes i know, very large... but i thought i remembered seeing some members with huge background pics that seemed to go on and on without repeating before. well, they did repeat, but not until that member made a HUGE post...

i saved it in the lowest possible quality, too...

any ideas?

Save it as a gif.

i tried, and it's about double the size!

Will you post the url in this thread or u2u it to me?

hey thanks a lot for the help, kinglizard!

took a while, but i finally got it just the right size!

yes ! thanks for the helpful information in this thread and i finally got my avatar and background image loaded correctly

only thing is i had to try it 5 times to finally get it right and lost 12,500 points

is there any way to get them back or am i out of luck ?
