what the heck?can't upload flag?

13-09-2003, 13:08
i've been trying to upload a flag which is definately less than 6KB (in fact i cut the JPEG quality down until it looks like a lousy spray-painting job), the approved 107x71 px size, and it won't let me upload it because supposedly it's to big.
here's the flag in question, for reference:

It is definitely to big. Sorry :cry:

I can make it better for you, if you want.

If you are using "Save as..." rather than "Save for Web" in photoshop, the JPEG's it creates are 10 times larger than they need to be.

I used it as my own flag, just to post it here, I had to shrink it with Paint Shop 7. Just download it now with your right mouse-click, and you have it. It is a cool flag, but I rather have my own flag back, so inform me when you have it on your nation :lol:
