Okay, at first I tried to no avail to upload any picture or drawing. Then I posted a few more posts, and it let me upload an actual photo of myself. So I deleted that photo and tried uploading a drawing, and learned that we're limited to 50k. I have one suitable drawing that's 50k, but when I upload it, instead of getting the drawing, I get the picture of me. Maybe this is the way of the gods--both the old and the new--to tell me that I really am the Mad King David. :lol:

When I try to upload a new avatar using the "custom" option, it keeps reverting and uploading as my old avatar.....so effectively I can't change pics. It keeps reverting to the first one I put up as permanent default.



EDIT: problem fixed after using Gravatar.

5. Important last step!! Pick an option that isn't #1. You cannot actually upload a photo onto the server, but there is no way to remove this option from the board software. Use one of the other options (linking to a picture with a URL hosted elsewhere, such as Photobucket, or logging into Gravatar).

hmmm... That's funny since I have always used this option and it has seemed to work for me. It usually takes a day or two (I was wrongly assuming some mod needed to approve the avatar) and sometimes I need to sign out and sign in again.

Hello, I'm new to the forum and I think I need some help! :blushing:


I want to upload an avatar but I just can't find the section in the settings.


Do I need to have a certain number of posts before the option appears, or am I just blind?

I had that same problem. I ended up just making a gravatar account with my email and it worked. I know its annoying signing up for a bunch of accounts and stuff but its just the easiest way. I believe that gravatar is affiliated with google plus, so if you have a youtube account or something similar you can just link your google account when you sign up for gravatar. Not completely sure though, as I used my old "blogger" account to link it.

Help. I don't want to use this avatar, but every time I click on use Gravatar, this avatar show up. I want different avatar, but I can't get option to change it! It default it to my gravatar main picture, which I can't change!

Testing to see if my avatar shows up



It doesn't, why is that? I used Gravatar and it showed up on my profile, and I confirmed, then came here to test it, and it was gone. Went back to the profile page, and it was reverted to default again. What gives?

After all these years, why is it still so goddamned hard to change avatars? I'm attempting to re-use an avatar I've used before on Gravatar; no matter what, I have to do a damned rain dance to get it to update. Removing the photo always works right away, but not updating the Gravatar image.
