So this is a noob help request, but I need help. I am trying to upload a custom image and it hasn't worked for the past 8 or so tries. I made sure it's under 100x100 pixels and that it's way under 48.8 KB. I checked file name and even renamed it. I can figure out why SFN keeps saying "Invalid File Name"....Does SFN hate me and want me to cry??

What's the file name?

i changed it a few times

first it was ebola, then ebola.bmp then merryjmas

Why don't you try hosting on a file storage site like photobucket or something that, and just use the URL to load your avatar.

that's a good idea, ill try that. thanks to both of you.

 

 

edit: yes that worked! thanks again

no problem... I can't think of a reason why the way you first tried to do it didn't work, but w/e. I guess it doesn't matter now. Nice Santa Clause hat, btw.

yeah that is strange....but whatever. Yeah thanks, I MSpainted it.

Maybe because it was a .bmp file it wouldn't let you upload it... last I looked it had to be .jpg or .jpeg or .gif etc.

Oh, really? Well then that's probably the reason.

Oh well, seems to be sorted now. Didn't have a problem the last time I uploaded avatars - then again, that was about a year ago now

All's well that ends well -- and just in time for Christmas with my festive killer-virus-in-a-cute-hat.
