Help with avatars pretty please!

I know that there are numerous posts on this but none have helped so.....
I'm trying to put a avatar up from my personal website but ATS always tells me it is too big, when I know it is within limits pixels and KB wise. I don't know what to do now. PLease help somebody! Thanks alot

Whats the image URL?........

The maximum size is 100K.

Try resizing the image or cutting on the sides.

I had put the picture up on my site just to get it as my avatar, and when it wouldn't work i took it off, but if you like i can put it back up. The URL was www.selfglory.com/mod.jpeg, but like I said i took it off when it didn't work. It was 22kb and like 130x106 or somthing. it wasn't that big a picture.

You have to upload it to ATS first.

Save the file onto your hardrive, go to member center browse and upload it. You will be given an address, paste that onto your avatar url in control panel.

Any questions?

Thanks alot for the info, if I do get any questions i'll post em. Thanks agian.

You bet. I want to know what your avator is going to be like.

Not necessarily. He said he had it hosted on his site, if this is so, you don't need to upload it to ats. Just use the url to the image on your host and put in the avatar text box. But im not sure why the image wont work.

Are you sure? I think there is some function that makes it neccesary to upload in ATS to put in the avator, but I'm not sure.

nope. My avatar is hosted from my site, no problems here.

Hey Guys,
Thanks alot for the info, I got the avatar loaded finally I think, and it was way too big it turns out, which just goes to show my lack of computer intelligence. But anyways thanks alot for the help, and if your wondering the picture is of me. I took it in the passenger side mirror of our five ton during a recent mission out here. About 3 weeks ago I think. Well, thanks agian for the help guys. I appreciate it.

cool...I noticed you use yahoo webhosting...thats what I use...only because I suck at html.... anyways, welcome to ats.

Hey thanks, yeah i suck at HTML too. plus out here we have wicked firewall that keeps us from doing just about everything so it helps to have Yahoo.

coming off this.... I upload my avatar and I've written it into my 'avatar' line on settings but it says the file is too big.. it's 33k..
it's here


help please?
