Title: Can't change/upload avatar
Post by: Igor on May 18, 2015, 08:48:43 pm
I was going to change my avatar, but for some reason it won't let me, and I think it removed the one I had before. Giving me some error like:

" The following errors occurred when trying to save your profile:
The avatar you have selected is either too large or not an avatar."

When I try to use an image from a url and tells me that "The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved." if I try to upload one. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

--Edit: Nevermind, I think the picture was too big.

I've been having the same problem, even with images I know are small enough. What gives?

...I have no idea. 

I think it may need a higher up like Sigma or even Krad.

Sorry for being useless. :-/

Are you having the problem when uploading the avatar, or when linking from a url?

If the former, try uploading the picture to an image hosting service like imgur (http://imgur.com/) and then using the "Specify avatar by URL" option. I'm not sure when it was that the uploading feature broke but I would need to talk to Kradorex to fix it.

This should be fixed, if someone could give a test that'd be great.

I tried changing my avatar by uploading a 150x150 (the same size as my current one) Jpeg, and got this:


An Error Has Occurred!
The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.

Ah, found the root of the problem and did a test myself, seems to be functioning now. I was looking at the attachments section, rather than avatars section, many apologies for that. Seems to be correctly functioning now, if someone could do one more test?

I think Krad had to reset something, causing a purge of all the uploaded avatars people were using.   I can only guess that, since the same thing happened to me.  I had no trouble uploading a new one though and it seemed to work just fine.

That's good.

Strange, I can still see everyone's avatars.

I think the ones that lost them may have reuploaded by now.  I'm just guessing, though.   *shrugs*
