So, I've tried two different files, both JPG, less than 20k and 175X95....when I upload, nothing happens it doesn't say anything, it just kicks me back to the main edit profile screen and my old avatar is still there. No warning messages or anything... Any help??? |
What is it supposed to be? I'm seeing  When you change your avatar do a forced refresh of the webpage to force your browser (ctrl+F5 for IE of FF) to download the information again and not use what it has stored in it's cache otherwise it can take a bit for your browser to catch up. Caching is why you see multiple tests in a row from the same posters in the Avatar Test Thread |

Just what IS the procedure for uploading an avatar pic? I've clicked on the "Upload Avatar" link on my edit profile page. I just get returned to the top of the page with no apparent means available to select/upload my pic.
If somebody could provide the procedure, or a link to it, I'd be very grateful. |
Edit Profile>Upload avatar should bring you to this screen: Direct link- http://media.ar15.com/media/uploadAvatar.html |
|
The URL I see when I hover is http://media.ar15.com/media/uploadAvatar.html
In that area, I get the same response from the Upload Bio Pic link (http://media.ar15.com/media/uploadBio.html). The Edit Biography link and the rest of the links on the Edit Profile window work just fine. Browsers: I've been using Safari 5.0.1 and Firefox 3.6.3 under Mac OS X 10.6.4. |

Unfortunately, my problem is that I can't even get to the point where I choose my avatar file for upload. The avatar is already sized to 170x95 and weighs in at 19.2K. did you have something corrected by a mod at 1 point ? i was locked from avatar changes for a while im a mod and have em look into it |

Just for fun take a look in your hosts file and see if there is anything amiss in the there. Copy and paste the entire contents here if you aren't sure what to look for regarding what could cause problems. Clear your caches too and do forced reloads of the pages. |

OK - I took my avatar file in to my work computer. The upload block appeared with no problem, and it took my image without complaint.
So, it's clearly an issue on my home computer. Since I don't intend to continually upload avatars, I consider the problem solved. Thanks to all for your kindness and assistance. |
