Captain Valyria Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Please help. I cannot seem to figure this out, and I've never had this level of difficulty with an online forum before. I understand that the board won't allow uploading an image from my computer, but I also can't find any option to link to an image on the web. The only option I see offered me is "Gravatar". Am I missing something here (I hope it's too obvious). I would prefer it if I didn't have to sign up for any other online service (like Gravatar) so I hope that there is some other option. It appears that there was, if I'm reading earlier posts in this thread correctly, but if such an option is still available, I'm unable to figure it out. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Gun Street Girl Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I went to the trouble of creating a Gravatar account, uploading a nice image, tried to make it work here...and precisely nothing happened.Edit: I assume this is due to performance mode.

FireWinds Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Update: Posted once and tried again to upload directly from computer and it worked. Pic has to be 50kb or less though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaera Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I am having such a hard time adding a pic. Tried everything stated above, but won't work. My choice was computer or gravatar. Neither work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adaneth Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Hi everybody, my choice is computer or gravatar also but neither works.Update: Posted once and tried again to upload directly from computer and it worked. Pic has to be 50kb or less though. I tried but it doesn't work either. Not 20,30, 40 or 50 KB :dunno: Edit: It worked through Gravatar only.

Adaneth Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I uploaded mine through gravatar and it doesn't seem to be working. I see you as Arya (my no.1 favorite by the way :love: ). Is that the avatar you were trying to upload or a new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adaneth Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 :( I have gravatar but when I click on my gravatar option it doesnt change... What do you see on your gravatar when you select the option from your profile? You have to upload picture on gravatar first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mother's_Grief Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 What do you see on your gravatar when you select the option from your profile? You have to upload picture on gravatar first.

Mother's_Grief Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 It worked! It just took a while! Thanks all! :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Gravatar isn't working for me, and hasn't for some time (since the show started again iirc). I check the box for using gravatar, the avatar shows up in the little window, hit ok, but it doesnt upload. And if I go back to the "Change Avatar" option again the Gravatar box is no longer checked.Screenshots to help explain it -Choosing Gravatar optionReturning to Change Photo (no longer have an avatar, and Gravatar box has been unchecked) It isn't a huge issue, as I can still use the computer upload option, but searching for images under 50kb is a bit of a pita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It isn't a huge issue, as I can still use the computer upload option, but searching for images under 50kb is a bit of a pita You do not need to search for them, just open them in paint and resize them. At least that is what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrich The Mad Mouse Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 There is no option to link from url, there is only two options: upload & Gravatar screenshot: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=29gd00y&s=8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSnowInWinterfell Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 On 9/21/2011 at 5:26 PM, ICE CROW said: I find the best site for hosting images to use as avatars is www.imgaeshack.com its free to sign up and im not sure the limit of photos you can upload for free i have like a 100 right now. I get my avatar through linking to my imageshack, also some frineds of mine here at westeros link through my account as well its easy and free you should look into it. It also lets you resize images extremely easy, i think you can even upload and use pics without making an account try messin around with it. thank you. good recommendation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamSongs Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) How do you get your profile picture to show in the new format? Mine uploads, but won't show up next to posts. I feel like an FM. Edited February 16, 2016 by DreamSongs NVM...I figured it out :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashon Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) There apparently is no link or control panel anymore to have an avatar. Why have the site admins done this? ....that was some nonsense. screencap incoming. Edited April 11, 2016 by Vashon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
