oovy

i made some and tryin to submit but it says file type not allowed :(. it’s jpg, not big, wtf sad.

 
Gordon

Hai guys!! Thanks for the link! I am happy to see so many people saving kitty pictures. :)
@oovy - sorry about that, jpgs should work fine! If you can post a link to the image I will figure out what’s wrong.

The pictures are easy to make… captionizing them is hard.
I’m just not witty enough!

What are the file requirements for lolcatz? I also had a jpeg file to submit that ICHC wouldnt accept… :( Can I just use MSPaint to add captions?

 
cheezburger

If it doesn’t allow it… host the file on http://www.tinypic.com, or http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/ and add the URL :).

If you’re talking about gordon’s lolcat generator… let’s see if he can reply in comments.

Indeed it be.

@KellyK - if it was with lolcat buildr, sorry it didn’t work! It should accept all images (jpg/gif/png), as long as they’re under 5mb and not corrupt. If you can post a link to the image, I will investigate! (Also, what browser/OS are you using?)

Thanks for the help!

I didnt use the LOLcate builder, I just added captions with MSPaint, resaved as jpeg, and tried to upload to ICHC. What does the lolcat builder do that Im not doing?

Gordon’s builder is awesome.. much better than my tutorial.

I just use a photo editing program on my computer. It’s much faster and the results are usually much better quality.

 
cheezburger

yeah, he’s been awesome in helping add stuff to it to help people submit it to us. :) we’ve very appreciative! :>

 
cheezburger

it does it without needing to open mspaint, photoshops etceterats

 
cheezburger

very true, but many of our users don’t have photoshop … and so this lets almost anyone — with basic computer experience — to create a lolcat. much easier, too, for lol*’ing their aminals.

Chingal

Hai! I am a big fan, as are my parents, and we giggle (though I utterly despise that word…) as we see the zany thangs peeps put up here.

When I try to preview my lovely lol*, it says “The state information is invalid for this page and might be corrupted.”

Am I doing something wrong? Is it a bug? Am I computar illiterate? The world may never know…

 
Jules

Jammies

[…] LOLcats are the image macros that are featured on I Can Has Cheezburger? and have created such further spoofs as LOLgeeks and LOLtrek. On April 1st I wrote a “how to LOL cat” guide. You might be interested in this how to speak kitteh guide as well. […]

Hi - the preview button isn’t working for me; I click it and all I get for a preview image is an error box (red X). I know I picked the photo I wanted, and I tried it using both Explorer and Firefox, but it’s not working!

I’ve just put up an experimental wysiwyg lolcat editor at www.canhaslol.com . It’s output isn’t anywhere near as slick as Gordon’s and it’s pretty limited, but it’s pretty easy to use. Do check out, please!
