Custom Flag Upload

Postby Bavin » Tue Jun 09, 2009 8:52 pm

I am having some trouble with the custom flags. Whenever I upload them, they come out as white boxes. I got it to work once, then tried to change my flag, and now its not working again.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.- Carl Sagan

Can you upload it to a different site for reference? Like Imageshack or Photobucket?

How would you upload from a website?

You can't do any linking. It has to be uploaded from your computer.

I keep trying to upload my flag, but it continues to tell me it is more than 10kb when it's less. I changed the size of the file through photoshop and saved it as a jpeg, but it still tells me the same thing. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

It may be possible that you need to clean your browser's cache.

That's one thing that helped me when I ran into a similar problem.

While it says 10Kb is the maximum file size, my flags usually must not be larger than 9.6Kb for a successful upload.
