I saved this image and it says that it is gif, yet the image uploader says its not a valid gif/jpg.

What's wrong?

It's 100x100... You can only have 85x85.

No I re-sized it already spoon. That's the raw image. I used the KMC avatar maker with that pic and it worked fine. But it won't let me upload it.

Hmmm, then I'm stumped... hmm

Try saving the original as a JPG before uploading? I see no transparency in it so there's no reason for it to be a GIF...

and how do I save it as a jpg?

What program are you using?

Most programs will give you an option of what file type you want to use.

Program

I'm one of those "technologically stinted" guys. I just save images as they come with "save picture as" and then resize things into avatars using kmc's very own avatar re-sizer. I wonder if I should get some kind of program thing...

If you mean web stuff, firefox.

She meant programs like paint or photoshop etc.

For a while now, every time I try to use the url function for the icon links (as the limits for upload are hard to stay within) it comes up with this error of 'not a valid jpg or gif image, please ensure it is and try again'. But it does it everytime and they are valid images. What's going on? How do I fix this?

What is the URL you are trying to use?

Well, I tried two url's, unfortunately one I can't even find now as it was on image shack. But the primary was from my photobucket account, and I've never had problems with it before.

Here is the link: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/artemis1860/Icons/kmcicon.jpg

Here's your problem, that image is way too large! It needs to be under 10kb.

Yup, the server will only fetch 10k which is why it comes up as corrupt.

eh, crap. So basically, downsize the file?

And it was rather small, photoshop had it at a low setting. I'll try to fix it.

EDIT: Tried, and can't, edit it to that small. The image kinda goes squish.

How could you not get this under 10kb?

I just copied the image and saved it as jpeg, 100% quality and it's only 6kb...

When i opened it though, on my comp, it was only at 8 bytes. The original. unless.... crap. my photobucket might have two versions. *headdesk*

EDIT: Yeah, I'm an idiot. I usually save one version for other forums, and one for kmc cuz of the limit differences.

Fixed now... Thanks.

Think it's time I clean up my photobucket before I waste ppl's time like this again... sorry.
