    Your avatar size in registration is 80x100, but it rejects anything over 50x50, so this is a bug.

    Re: error is avatar size during registration

    I tried loading a jpg image of 4 KB and is 80 x 69.

    Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 50 by 50 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).

    My image size is 4 KB - so why is it rejecting it ?

    It is rejecting it because it is larger than 50x50.

    Re: error is avatar size during registration

    I just logged out and visited your registration page and it says:
    Author Image: (optional)
    Enter the address where your image is located below.
    Image can be no more than 80x100 pixels and 20K in size.
    Assuming author image = avatar, this is a bug.

    Actually...there is a difference between the picture used as the avatar and the one used for the profile. The former one can only be 50x50 pixels, the latter one was increased to 80x100 pixels.

    That would explain it. Thanks.

    How can I get to my "author image" in my CP? I have just tried and do not see it anywhere.

    It's not that hard to find, it's actually in your User CP:
    Attached Images Attached Images  
    Get this small utility to do basic syntax highlighting in vBulletin forums (like Codeguru) easily.
    Supports C++ and VB out of the box, but can be configured for other languages.

    I don't get it, you do have a profile pic associated with your account.

    Re: error is avatar size during registration

    Oh..right. Seeing it just now. I intended that for my avatar. Guess thats too big ?
    But then why cant I see any option to change profile pic like the way you have in your CP ?

    Re: error is avatar size during registration

    I also do not have that option. And I also intended whatever I put into my "author image" as my avatar picture.

    This means this is a UI bug. Newcomers (like myself) assume that the picture field in the registration is for their avatar, and it is not. Although it is not a technical bug, such as code, it is still a bug that can be fixed in my eyes.
