theBLUEBIRD Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I need some help with my profile settings, and I was wondering where to post it.. Thought this was as good as any other place. Please correct me if I'm wrong! But I can't edit my avatar. I just get a message saying it cant upload my picture. And I have been making sure it's not too big or anything like that.. I have also been trying multiple pictures, so I know it's nothing to do with the file. Is it because I'm such a fresh member that the servers arent properly set-up yet? I don't know.. That's why I'm asking you....
Fresh Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Is it because I'm such a fresh member that the servers arent properly set-up yet? Couldn't resist. Try hosting your avatar externally on a website such as imageshack and then copy the link they give you into the box labelled "Option 1 - Enter the URL to the Image on Another Website".
Ashley Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 And failing that, put it here and we can add it on.

Cube Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 By the way, noavatar.gif had vanished from the server.
nekunando Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I actually couldn't change mine yesterday either
theBLUEBIRD Posted March 25, 2010 Author Posted March 25, 2010 @Fresh: Thanks for the reply, but that doesn't work either.. @Ashley: I can only post a link to another site if I have 15 posts.. I'll send you that picture in a msg instead...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I've mentioned it before, but I've had the same trouble in past. Not with avatars, however, but with signatures.
Ashley Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Right. I have solved it. As it turns out with the hiccup re: server stuff we've had the folders where you dirty swines host your avatars on (how dare you :p) had its CHMOD permissions changed so you couldn't. Changed it (and profile pics and signatures). However, the image you originally provided...where did you get it from? It said "the .png file was the wrong extension", which it should be as its a .gif...so I saved it as a .png and that worked.
theBLUEBIRD Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 @Ashley: I got my avatar from some flash Mii generator somewhere! I would link you all up the site, but I can't post links... Either way, thanks for helping me out with this issue!!
