I must tell that the server is more busy than ever, you know, everything happen in the same time, MURPHY's LAW.

I am slowly taking control of the situation, but I feel more confident now than 3 days ago

Please report issues related to the avatar uploads here. Thanks
Prog On !

I'm not surprised. An update should work at least. Or so you'd think.

FIXED


URL avatar are not allowed anymore. I will have to replace them with "blank" you'll have to upload or select a new one.

Uploads selection is now working, it was a bug in the WWF 9.69 upgrade code.

Confused
Prog On !

I forgot to block the URL: Avatar with the new upgrade of the forum. So , again, no AVATAR from URL will be allowed (since June 2010)

I will re-implement it and fix the avatar selection problem.
Prog On !

does this thread really need to be pinned on every page?Ouch

And there are a large number of people who almost never read pinned threads.

Yeah thanks, I can't believe I missed that. Embarrassed

So the file manager allows you to upload larger images than the avatar upload page?

Its easy, go to file manager and delete the pics you want.

It's the last tab in your members Control Panel.

Does anyone know how to delete entries in the Avatar Upload facility. My first attempt didn't "take" (I suspect the image dimensions were too large). If this post has my image, then my second attempt worked.

Did you do this?

You need to save the photo on your computer, Chris. Then go to Member Control Panel, then to Edit Profile, and click on Avatar Upload. I highlighted it for you:



A new window will open, which will allow you to browse through your computer and pick the photo you saved:

Henry, I doubt every avatar was taken from an image hosting site either.  Some people, myself included, found our pictures on various blogs/other sorts of websites, often which hosted the images themselves.
