Any icon update experts out there? CAROL TOLD ME TO ASK YOU GUYS

Icon upload day is approaching, and I've gotten pretty tired of mine and would like to change it. Last month I tried several times all day long with no success.

On the Profile update screen I clicked on "Browse", found the (correctly sized) picture on my hard drive that I wanted to upload, and hit "Upload". Instead of uploading "C:Documents and SettingsRoyMy DocumentsMy PicturescoinsDisplayDiebreak1.jpg", which is what was in the box, it gave me this message:


<< <i>There was an error reading your Author Icon. The Error was: Could not determine the format of the file d:forums.collectors.com/i/authorsicons/ACF1ED1.jpg CF_IMAGEINFO: Format Not Recognized >>



I tried a couple of different .jpg files, and even one .gif file. All my efforts got the same strange message. Any thoughts?

I asked about this on the Q&A Forumwhere CarolJ basically said "Wrong kind of question for this forum."

Can you post the picture here?

What is the size limit?

Size limit is 10K but I am not sure of the process.

Here it is -

I've tried uploading icons that were too large, and the rejection message I got was entirely different.

This one is 9,500 bytes and the dimension are 95 x 71, which were less than the maximum 10K and 100 x 100 when I studied arithmetic, decades before "New Math" came along.

That one should work fine. Just upload in your profile when Carol turns on Icon upload today.

Make sure the name of the Photo is original. Someone else may have diebreak1. This is why the alphabet soup is in the error msg as your photo name.

I also guestion the photo being on your "C" drive and the error msg refers to your "D" drive. Check typing or routing

I just uploaded one and it worked fine.

Tried again -

Why isn't ".jpg" format being recognized?

Numismatics

<---------------My new one too.

satootoko

I give up!

From now on, everyone please pretend that my icon has changed to .

I've tried acessing the forum with the latest versions of both IE and Firefox; I've changed the picture's name, and moved it to the root directory of my C drive so it is now just "C
oysicon.jpg", with no possibility that it duplicates something already in CU's system. The only difference in the error messages I get is the "ACF???.jpg" designation.

Stork

That is odd. Mine is a jpg too, all I did was email it to myself at work, put it on my desktop and uploaded from there. I have no idea why yours isn't uploading. But my computer expertise is sadly lacking. I like your new icon though.

Hey Roy,

Your new icon is listed as about a dozen different names on the master list

Madame

Hope I'm not to late to have my icon changed. Is it to late?
If not, I would like a new Icon (Avtar)
