Avatar ? ? ?

How do I upload an avatar?

I've tried several ways but get various rejection mssgs such as:
..needs to be <100 pixels
..needs to be <47K
..needs to be .jpg

After making my picture smaller, and converting file to JPEG & PNG the rejection mssgs disappear and in stead I get this:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(./images/avatars/4592068549b87e1f3bbca.png) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/aegidian/public_html/bb/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 288

My picture is of a BoaCC screenshotted from an Oolite start-up page, pasted onto a white background in MacDraw, trimmed around edge, re-screenshotted as a PDF then converted to JPEG + PNG (at different sizes)

all less than 47K :roll:

any ideas? suggestions?

P.S. I have ticked "DELETE IMAGE" box and re-submitted profile in between above attempts

AFAIK it has been recently disabled because the BBS systems avatar section was suffering a security issue and thus someone placed files there.

I might tart them up a bit .. . ..

Thanx4 prompt response

I favour the modern eco-sensitive THARGOID exo-skeleton design of corset, and yet the station persists -- refusing to issue docking instructions.

Yes, I am distraught.

Yet, strangely, not in pain..
