Oops, JU Avatar Question

February 1, 2009 11:03:07 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

Last night I wanted to change my avatar.  So I deleted the old one, trying to upload the new.  It didn't work.  When I click on upload, nothing happens.

 

So I went to Karma's site problems article and there was an answer.

 

Adobe Flash 10 has issues?  So it must be done under Flash 9.  Ok. 

 

I removed Flash 10 from my computer, and then tried to download flash 9, but for some reason it's just not working.  I get the installation complete message from flash 9, but when I go back to JU to try to upload, it tells me I don't have a flash high enough.

 

Any ideas?

I couldn't set it up in Firefox.  I had to try it in IE8 beta.  It worked there.  As a side note, it's likely that I have different versions of Flash in the two browsers (and likely IE 8 had the older version, because I don't use it).

yeah, I had to uninstall flash 10 and then use IE.    Firefox or chrome still didn't work.   (start/run "iexplore" is the way to go)

I'm going to uninstall 10 again (I reloaded it last night when I couldn't get 9 to work).

Is there a good site that has an easy installation?  Because the 9 version I have now just breaks into files when I click on it...like I am supposed to know which one installs?

hahaha...

That is a different story entirely. And that is also universal to matter what version of flash you have.

In other words: That's a forum software bug and you can't fix it.

Use transparency for the area around the picture you don't want to show.

most are not used by anybody else yet if you want a unique one.

For a temp fix, you can upload an avatar via the WinCustomize (or any of the game forums), and that will change it.

Use the 'Eclipse' marquee tool in Photoshop, on a transparent b/ground, and fill it with what you want.. blend in an image.. or whatever.

anything that supports transparecies or layers (photoshop and gimp are the 1st two that come to mind) then save as a '.png' file.

Ooohh, that's way cool, Tova. Who's the artist? It reminds me of Yggdrasil.

It's called ..The Secret, but I can't read the artist's name at the bottom...too small on my desktop and I can't remember where I found it.  I love trees, and this one has it all...motion, still-ness, character, familiarity, light, shadow, death, life....hahaha..if I was a tree, I'd want to be this one.

though, its still 50x50 when it could be bigger (up to 100x100)

I tried to put it in 100 but it wouldn't take it..I'll try again.

make it 99x99 if it is throwing a fit.  could be a header error on the file or something like that to make it think it is a 101x101 file.  I've had that problem with jpegs before (I use a PNG for my avatar which doesn't seem to have that problem)
