Can you, say, do it again and tell us the error message?

We at VGF are usually helpful, but remember that we expect you to at least TRY first. We are not your first line of defense against inanity, that should be you. We are not omniscient, nor are we your pages and lapdogs.

It probably said that the picture's format was not supported. I got that too.,, Don't bother with the uploading process, just use Imageshack. ImageShack® - Hosting

Ill try it again.It just takes soooo long to load up the picture.

Ok i tried it again and the same message came:the file you tried to upload is not within the allowed extensions.

If you're using mspaint (I'll go ahead and assume it's a .bmp), you can save it as a jpeg (File -> Save As...), which I'm pretty sure is allowed.

It is a bmp. ok il try it on jpeg.

Awww crap same message.

jpg, jpeg, gif, and png files are accepted.

.PNG won't work for me.
Is there a image size or filesize limit?

***Ynot Shane*** · 09-17-2006, 08:24 PM

80x80 and 12k, but I believe each of those has its own error.

It's actually 100x100. And 16k sized stuff works too.
