Rumba Rue Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Have you uploaded them to a photo site like Photobucket? You can't post pics direct from files on your computer. I have occassionally had problems with little things I add on to my sig, and they don't show up, only that dang box with the x. I honestly don't know what that's about, but I have sometimes had a suspion that someone might have interfered with my stuff. So I delete the little goodies for awhile before trying to put them back up. Other than than, I can't help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTom Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I've been having a problem getting Change Personal Photo to accept the url from Photobucket (the avatar worked fine, though). The error is: "Sorry, you are not permitted to use that image as a personal photo as the extension isn't on the permitted list." Huh? It's a .jpg file. It's 27K and 200 x 195, so it's under the size limitation. What's more, the .jpg that works for my avatar fails when used for personal photo with the error above. Thanks in advance for any help.

Silkie McDonough Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I had to load the personal photo from my desktop. To change it I had to first remove the old one and then load the second one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I've found the photo upload to be tetchy at times. I often just move the photo to my webpage and link to it. (If you don't have a web page, use photobucket or one of those free photo upload sites.) I don't know why you'd get a problem with the extension, though. It may be that the photo is actually too large or something like that and the extension error is the default response when an error it doesn't recognize occurs. (The software may not be able to tell you the correct problem, so you get this generic reply.) I suggest that you try making the picture smaller in a photo editing program if you have one and using that. It may or may not solve your problem, but it's worth a shot. I'm going to move this post to the IR and Pub Management forum where it actually belongs - it might get more responses there. (I'll bet y'all thought that forum was just for welcoming new members, din'cha?) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTom Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thanks for the suggestions. Here's the particularly weird part: I have a small jpg uploaded to Photobucket for use as an avatar. The URL to that image works fine as my avatar. The very same URL fails when used as Personal Image. To me, that sounds like a problem on the Pyracy.com end of the transaction. I'm going to try a few more experiments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTom Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Let's see if the bbcode that Photobucket provides works in a message... ... ??? Guess it's not a problem with the image.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barber-surgeon Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Yes, I posted a couple of messages the first part of last week to the powers that be on this very same subject--and not recieved a word or missive back. Rather reassuring--in an odd way--to find that I'm not the only one experiencing a problem. Now, to have one of the powers that be find a correction for the problem would be good... Cheers!

Rumba Rue Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I've sent a message to our secret Admistrator to see if it can be figured out on that end. Reply: Apparently it has been noticed by the Admistrators, and they are trying to work on it. Be patient please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
