Error uploading avatar photo
Hey,
I'm trying to change my avatar photo. When I uploaded a jpeg, I got a message that reads, "1 error prohibited this user from being saved. There were problems with the following fields: Avatar is invalid."
I suspect that the image is too big (1.5 MB), but it would be better to have a clearer error message, such as "Avatar image is too large" (or "wrong format" or "poorly dressed" or "so 80s" or something).
Thanks!

Hey, Scott/Cam -- what *is* the maximum size for images, anyway?

this solves the problem

True on both counts! We'll add in a warning up front about maximum image size, and we'll come up with a friendlier error message, too.

Inappropriate?Coming right up!
I checked the log, and in this case your avatar "is not cool enough".
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?I ran it through the GIMP's "Make Avatar Cooler..." script-fu and now it works!
(Okay, really I shrunk it to 152 Kb. Thanks much...)

Inappropriate?That's a great photo of your head, Marc! At least you don't have a beer bottle shoved into your mouth like that clown Lane.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Or a creepy closeup of your eye like mine ;)

Inappropriate?I'm having this problem with an image that is 1,047,355 bytes (just under 1 meg.) You may have an issue with your size checking.
I’m unconcerned
