I have tried to add a jpeg image to my forum profile, but I keep on getting the following error message:

--- begin ---

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: intelligently_scale_image() in /websites/boinc/projects/cpdnboinc/html/user/edit_forum_preferences_action.php on line 37

---- end ----

The image should not be un supported format, since I have succesfully added to my setiathome forum profile and I have also added to my account profile.
Should I change the resolution, if there is problem with down scaling? Could someone assist me with the highest supported resolution.

The maximum allowed size is 100x100 pixels and 4k in jpg or png format. I think it actually <b>prefers</b> the size to be 100x100 pixels.

Hope that helped :)

PS: That error message seems to indicate that there is code to scale the avatar, but it doesn't work. Also don't forget you can't use an off-line avatar, you have to upload it to the site.

Need help? Check out Paul's excellent <a href="http://boinc-doc.net/boinc-wiki/index.php"><b>BOINC-Wiki!</b></a><br />

It is a web site problem, some included BOINC functions have been moved to different include file some time ago so the require_once fileset changed for some PHP pages. These changes have not been done in the CPDN PHP source I guess.

Both matching (100x100) and "wrong" sized avatar pictures currently do not work properly.
