Is it just me or is anyone else having problems updating their forum preferences? I cannot get it to accept updates... A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part! ID: 75457 ·  |

Well the ignore list works :) Seriously? Have I offended everyone so much that I'm on ignore? If that is the case I's surely like to know what it is I said... A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part! ID: 75461 · |

The preferences were locked, I'm not sure if it was intentional or part of integrating some new features (backend). The Dev team has a lot on their plate right now and the boards are kinda low priority (the science should come first). Check the front page, they're hammering away at bringing a new DB server online, mirroring the older DB box to enable some of the functions they've shut off. They're preping to turn off Classic, while fighting software/hardware issues, and some of the Seti crew is working on getting other projects on line (there's something like 8 of them pre-alpha, and a few still in Alpha). It might be irratating sometimes, but I still prefer it to other projects out there. So I'll just remain patient.  Still looking for something profound or inspirational to place here. ID: 75470 · |

Wolf, my bad. I didn't think you meant it like that but I know I can be kind of obnoxious sometimes... As for the specific problem, it will not let me add an avatar. A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part! ID: 75498 · |

> Wolf, my bad. I didn't think you meant it like that but I know I can be kind > of obnoxious sometimes... > > As for the specific problem, it will not let me add an avatar. Forced size of 100x100 pixels format: jpg/png - size: at most 4k If the avatar is too big in size it wont upload it. You can get away with a few extra K if its a PNG file. If you're having trouble converting your avatar ask Captain Avatar for help. ID: 75500 · |

Cant send it to you... its gone the way of the recycle bin as all the other previous Milla's. They've always been over the 4K limit and even though SETI reconverts it to a JPG it still has all the quality of the original. ID: 75517 · |
