Icons

Why can't I upload icons to this thing?

ETA: Because, "The userpic factory is currently not working. This means that if you upload an icon that doesn't meet our technical guidelines (up to 100x100 pixels, 40kb or smaller) you will receive an error message, rather than being asked to resize your icon."

So how do I make an icon which meets their technical guidelines?

Comments

Ah, I see.

I'm fairly certain you can turn that off? Also, you can reply to comments via email on LJ.

Further investigation suggests that Dreamwidth is duplicating LJ's behaviour in both respects. I've always had plaintext notifications from LJ, because I like to see people's HTML, but I've switched it to HTML notifications now, which should enable inline replies. Also, I never even realised I had an LJ mail-box, but I do and it gets all the comment notifications. There's no way on either site of getting external email notifications without also getting internal notifications, which seems like a lacuna.

(I've disabled email notifications for people adding me on Dreamwidth, because they were cluttering up my inbox, but I still want to be notified, so it would be nice to use my Dreamwidth mail-box for such things without also having to reread comments I'd already seen. But this is getting boring, and I really should do some work.)
