When I attempt to upload an avatar in the user settings, it fails with an ERR_ACCESS_DENIED in Chrome. Anyone else face this issue?

What’s the file size? Avatars have to be under a certain file size (it should state the size and dimensions on the upload page).

If you’re still having issues you can email me the image and I will set it as your avatar.

The original size was 400kb, perhaps that was the issue. I scaled it down to 18kb with smaller dimensions and it worked. Thank you!

I can't seem to upload an avatar. I am trying to upload a screenshot from Google photos. I tried to crop it without success (obviously, why else would I be here). No idea how many pixels are in my photo. Can you help a moron?

Hi guys,

I have had the most luck with this free, un invasive website.

https://www.img2go.com/compress-image

Click on smallest file size, drag and drop your image and the next page has a new download for you.

Your picture should work now.

The site has many other useful tools.

Good luck

I don't know! That's why I said moron. I'll get a kid to help me. Maybe that'll work. Or maybe it's 364kb???

Avatars need to be 50kb or less and 90x90 pixels or less. This setting is to keep people from uploading HUGE images as avatars. I got your email as well. The image is just too big, you'll need to crop it to use it as an avatar. If you need help doing this, just let me know.

Yup. I need help. I downloaded a picture of Bolt, the dog from the movie. Too big, so I cropped to headshot. Too big. So I downloaded a picture of a single kràtom leaf..too big. I'm at a loss.

I found a similar image and cropped up a quick avatar for you. Hope it's okay!
