Go ahead and delete it. I’m fine with the one that I uploaded. Thx.

Ok, I’m an idiot.

The problem of course is that the size check (in kb) is done before the image is resized. As for now, I raised the image size limit for 30kb. I will later see about changing the kb-size check to be after any possible resizing of the width/height.

Thanks guys for the help!

Isaul, I rescaled your website’s picture and corrected the file size.

This one is the larger then what you have currently-the maximum allowed.
If you want it, you point the upload file to

otherwise I will delete in a few days–dont care to have a picture of you on my server

Hm. In that case there is a problem. I’ll investigate further.

I was assuming Isaul, meant 15Kb and not Mb, as not even a raw image of a unscaled picture would get that large. (well it could, but very unlikely in Isaul’s case)

I’ll see if I can sort it out. The problem is that ultimately, I think, the issue is with the web server on which this site runs. I think the php server image module cannot handle file sizes as huge as 18MB, and so it just throws its hands up in the air when it meets one.

Which is, really, a good thing, as otherwise the upload might wreck havoc on the whole system. But it would indeed be nice if I could give some feedback regarding the file sizes before the server terminates the connection. I’ll see about it.

Vili, it does resize but it appears it requires it to be fairly small starting out. About the only thing it needs is a error stating the problem, as of now it says nothing and can be a bit confusing as to what it going on.

There we go!

I just had to keep going — down to 77…

Yeah, I played with it for 15 minutes. Got it down to 90×90, but it was still 16MB — and Jeremy is right: nothing happens!

I’ll keep trying, but I’m not very good at image editing.

If you guys can get it down to 15MB, I’d be delighted (it’s the pic on the top right of my blog (NOT the borg!)

Isaul, if the picture you upload is not very close to 100×100 pixels, or larger then 15Kb, it doesnt report an error-it just doesnt do anything.

Is that so? Then there must be an error in my code, as it is supposed to resize the image for you. I’ll have to test this again once I can sit down comfortably (I’m currently sitting on one of those uncomfortable seats they have at airport lounges — I’m at an airport, waiting for a flight).
