Yes, exactly.

Please, let me start over.  I see some miscommunication.

When I upload an /extension/ first I see a page with 2 upload icons,
box and a big white arrow.  After I upload the extension the lefthand one
becomes a cardboard box.  The righthand one is for a picture to go with
it.  It appears in the gallery of extensions.

For the picture, if I upload just any old picture, the cardboard box
is what appears in the gallery, not what I uploaded.  The pic has
to be 190 x 190 before it will appear.

So /that's/ what I'm talking about when I say an error msg would help --
then, when I'm uploading the pic, it would be good to know it's too big
to work.

Yes?
