Born not Made Posts: 2931 Location: North Dakota	The last two days, at various times, I've tried uploading a new photo for my profile picture / avatar. It keep getting this error message: Request object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005' Operation not Allowed /forum/includes/include-upload.asp, line 52 I PM'ed an admin person about this but have not gotten a response yet. Any ideas? I've tried both uploading a photo and using the http link. Neither works.

Born not Made Posts: 2931 Location: North Dakota	Yup, that was the problem. I resized it (several times) until it was small enough to take it. Thanks guys. So it would seem LOGICAL to me that the mods should list somewhere that it needs to be that small. I don't see it stated anywhere in the settings that the photo needs to be a certain size. And that error message is just mumbo jumbo to me.
