Mods - why can't I upload a custom smilie?
I have attempted to upload it several times now - and when I go to check?

It isn't there.

It fits within the size and dimension parameters, and is also well within copyright - I created the smilie myself with public domain images - there is nothing violent, graphic or even sexually explicit - so what's up?

wtf

All smilies have to wait for approval

Sometimes it's done quickly, other times it takes a while.

How long ago did you upload it?

When you upload them, does it show "x smilies pending approval" on the left hand side of the screen when you refresh the smilie section?

Did you pick the right file type. I've been here ten years and even now the protocols involved can sometimes drive you up the wall.

The smilie must be less than 200kb and in BMP, JPG, PNG or GIF format, with a maximum size of 640 x 480 pixels.

It will be pending approval until reviewed by a moderator; if approved, it will become available for you to use from the Post New Thread/Reply pages.

 Quoting: Chip



Here are the specs . . .

File format: jpg
dimensions: 287 x 480

Hmm...strange. Not sure what's going on. Think you might have any "malware" in your PC? Or something affecting the webpage load?

Funky firewall in the way??

Maybe reset your modem...and reboot your PC....
 Quoting: Chip


Yes - don't think it is malware - got scanners for that. Just checked everything out - all seems fine. Just now have rebooted everything - including router. Trying again to upload it now. Let's see if that works -

If not, this "smilie tard" (um, ya - red karma for that, lol) will give it a rest . . .

Thanks for all your help!

Upload it to an online pic hosting site and then link to it, so we can have a look at it.
