<div class="IPBDescription">Didn't know who/where else to ask.</div> Gday guys, just having an issue with uploading a custom avatar. It's a .gif file, around 14kb and is 64x64, but when I go to upload it I get an error stating that the file type is not permitted. I've tried PMing a few forum admins but haven't received a reply. I couldn't find any other relevant forums to post in, so if this post needs to be moved be my guest.

Cheers for any assistance.

    You can't upload avatars or signatures. You must find another host for them.

    I am looking at your avatar as I am typing this!
    I don't think you have a problem any more

    1. he is referring to a different avatar, because his current one is 32*32 and 398 bytes
    2. you CAN upload a custom avatar

    Having said that,
    An answer from a forum admin may take a while, 1 hour- 2 days, they aren't here 24/7 you know...

    Give us the exact error message, make a screenie or something.

    I guess Firestorm or Soulscorpian will have an answer to this one...

    Look at the path for his current avatar. It is one of the Pre-installed avatars, which you can choose.
    Go to "My Controls" --> "Edit Avatar Settings" --> and then scroll down the list and click "Ares" <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, I messaged two that were online at the time, one of which got back to me the next day =)

    In any case, my problem is solved. You can't upload a custom avatar directly to the NS forums servers, you need to find your own host for it (thanks for that Comprox)

    Cheers for the help guys.
