Topic: i can't upload an avatar
i get this error "The file you tried to upload is not of an allowed type. Allowed types are gif, jpeg and png."
the avatar i tried uploading was a gif and was in the avatar size limits. what did i do wrong?
Re: i can't upload an avatar
There's code to resize pictures on upload here that prevents this kind of problem.

no! what i meant was... it didnt go past the size limit. everything is under the size limit but still i cant use it!
Re: i can't upload an avatar
Are you sure it's a JPG, GIF, or PNG and not, say, a BMP with the wrong extension?
Re: i can't upload an avatar
im sure
Re: i can't upload an avatar
Well, that error message is triggered in two places: the first is when the image type as reported by your browser doesn't match and the second is when PHP detects that the image is a GIF but the reported image type isn't.
