To catch a Lannister Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yeah my shit doesn't show up when I post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadKingDavid Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyanna<3Rhaegar Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Anyone know how to do it on a mobile device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanzo Hasashi Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) 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.

The Mockingbird Man Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I seem to have the same problem. I put the original image but now it cannot be cropped or changed. Any idea how I could fix it? (preferably without using Gravatar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushroomshirt Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 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.

Magnar of Skagos Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I don't have the option on the "Photo Editor" pop up that allows me to insert an image's URL. Any help? Every other forum I've been to has allowed uploading avatars to the site itself, so I'm a bit confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirlys Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 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?

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirlys Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 That's weird... suddenly it works!I just signed up for gravatar and now the option is there... the option to upload it via gravatar and the normal option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Winter Rose Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) I now have my avatar and I used first option, "use a custom photo", which makes first post of this topic outdated! Edited June 10, 2014 by Lady Winter Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelborn Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) My profile doesn't recognize my Gravatar photo, I keep typing my email and then '"done" but it never works. Edit: Finally I could change. :) Edited June 20, 2014 by Steelborn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmaxepic Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) 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?

The Mad Cow Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 It is a shame that we must register to other website services to simply display an avatar. Could the decision of denying storage on the forum's server perhaps be reconsidered? These avatars are only worth a small amount of bytes.

Inigima Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb_Warged Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Do you need to have so many posts before you can have an avatar? Similar to the post requirement for a sig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellus Explorer Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Do you need to have so many posts before you can have an avatar? Similar to the post requirement for a sig?No, you can change it right after your account is activated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
