Invalid image message - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Rowan · 08-01-2009, 08:52 PM

I have been trying to change the background image on my home page here at SR for some time without success. Initially I thought it was a browser problem but I've had the same problem when using a different computer.
Anyone else have this problem? If so, help!

I posted something somewhere, but I can't find it.

In your album there is an option to use the image for your profile. I think you have to put it there before you can use it for your profile.

Add Album and then check
Profile - Pictures used to modify your profile style

Thanks, MG. I was able to upload a new background pic by editing my album as you suggested, but I'm still getting the same message when I go to save it. It HAS saved the image properly and it now shows as my current background but I can't change the colours/font for each section of my profile without getting that same error message. I'll keep messing around with it.

It's a strange image. It saves as a bmp and I can't open it with my animation program. It shows as a gif in your album.

Maybe you can save everything and put it in last.

Uh...I must be totally compu-illiterate.

I can't get the picture I have in my album to go as my background. It asks for the URL...I paste it and get an error message.
