Icons, again

[cindergal]

This icon thing is still driving me crazy. I still cannot upload anything, and it appears the reason is the file size, which LJ limits to 40 kb. All the icons I am trying to upload are smaller than that, but after I upload them they mysteriously become larger, usually 80-90 KB. WTF, LJ?

So frustrating.

Do you have a Photobucket account or anything? Try uploading the icon to a hosting site and then use LJ's 'upload from url' feature.

When that happened to me, I couldn't upload the icon from my computer, but I could upload it by linking to the original icon post.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
