TheMustardKing Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 "File size too large" after resizing and saving to photobucket over and over, same message. I've looked at the properties of the other avatars on this site and they are way larger than what I'm trying upload. What gives, man. I've been to hundreds of forums and never had an issue with an avatar, never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMustardKing Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I followed the recommendation to post a little first, then tried again. I noticed this time there was an option to upload a photo from my computer and this ended up working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Visenya Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I really would like an avatar to go with my upcoming name change, I don't suppose anyone is good with Photoshop and would do me a favour?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light a wight tonight Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 For some reason my avatar has stopped showing. It worked this morning but not this evening. It went to an empty box with an X in the corner, and now is the silouhette shape after i fiddled with my profile.Any idea what the prob is? Solution?

LeWarg Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hey! So I did the imageshack. I did the gravatar. I posted. Now, I see the picture in my profile. But it doesnt show in my posts. I suppose I'm still doing something wrong? Thanks ahead of time for some extra help :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeWarg Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Well, I do not know what happenned, but it worked right after I asked my question. I feel silly now. Oh well, sillyness never killed anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Is it actually possible to upload a picture from one's computer now? I know this was not an option some time ago, but now I have seen it said that it also works. Does it? I do not want to go trying anything before I get a confirmation from somebody who knows for sure, I do not want to be left without an avatar after unsuccessful trying.Also, is the possibility to link a picture from URL (I use imageshack) coming back any time?

Palas Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hi. I'm trying to upload an avatar but I only have two options, the uploading one and the Gravatar one, which none I can/want to use. I don't have an option to just put a link form imageshack, photobucket etc. Do I need a certain amount of posts for it to appear? Thank you.

Iduna Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hello everyone, I'm having an avatar-related problem as well. Every time I try to upload a picture, it says 'failed to set a new photo' and that's that, no matter the size of the pic. Should I just try Gravatar? I'd really rather not but I will if I must. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance!I'm in the same boat. :(*edit*OK, not in the same boat anymore. It's working for me now. I made 4 posts in various forums and chopped down my avatar size to 150x150 since my initial post. I'm not sure if either or both had a hand in the photo upload working form my PC this time. I hope that helps. Edited November 21, 2012 by PetyrPunkinhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you need to have a couple of posts to be able to upload a pic in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
