Now this could just be me being thick (most likely) I'm really struggling to get an avatar image by linking to external image hosting of any sort - it just says, that file is not allowed.

Also when trying to upload a jpeg directly (apart from the tiny size allowance) it says that jpeg is not allowed as a file type?

Anyone else experiencing any issues with this??

Cheers,

If you try and right click on the image and than copy the image address/location it should hopefully work.

Here comes some "instructions":

Google Chrome: https://i.gyazo.com/4fee4cabd675cc95c55e3e944057299c.mp4

Mozilla Firefox: https://i.gyazo.com/a8fc1203cf2e2eeaf212d38a752816ee.mp4

Tried that it doesn't work - it doesnt like the JPEG format on any options but difficult to get a png down to below 30kb

Edit: Got there in the end but had to go with PNG and scale it down JPEG is unloved.

Hey, I got a fix for that, I used a website online to make the image under 30KB,

Just look up on the internet JPEG file compressor or something similar to that.

(I would send a link but I'm not sure I'm allowed to send them in this forum.)
