Avatars?

[slughead]

I just made it to 500 posts (this is 501).. the FAQ says I can use an avatar, however the only option in my User CP under Edit Avatar is "do not use avatar"..

Did you guys raise the bar or something? heh

That's very odd!

Send a PM to a mod. Doctor Q, or Mr. Anderson, are both online now, and should be able to help you.

try logging in then out

and next time please get the topic under the correct forum, for this it should go under the site comments/feedback.

Go to your UserCP avatar change page, and hit apple+r, you never know...

 

[Mr. Anderson]

you now have one - I went and added it, also selecting the "yes" button for using custom avatar. Weird that you couldn't do it yourself.

Now you should be able to change it to whatever you want.

Good luck,

I had the same problem yesterday. After a little while it went away (I logged out, etc., which didn't seem to directly help) and works fine now. May just be a database refresh thing.

 

[Mr. Anderson]

I just tried uploading a tar like I did before, but it didn't work.

We're looking into it and it should be fixed soon.

Hi Everyone,

I just reached 500 posts too but I'm having the same problem. It still says "Do Not Use Avatar." How can I fix this?

Thanks,

like i have said before (maybe not in this forum) try restarting safari, that worked for me.

 

[JOD8FY]

It works now, restarting Safari didn't help. I think the database just needed to recognize it.

Thanks anyway,

It seems a little small. How did you edit yours to get it normal size?

Thanks,

P.S. - NusuniAdmin - Where in NY do you live? I also live in upstate NY.

I think your pic is only 66 x 25 pixels. It can be 75x75. You need to either find a larger pic or change the image size in an image editing program.

just to let everyone know, i dont think the minute you reach 500 posts you will be able to add an avatar, it takes the system a few minutes or at least a little while to recognize the fact that you can now have one, i dont think it is any problem really, unless it takes over a half hour or so and you still cannot add one

 

[Nermal]

I think the database undergoes automatic nightly maintenance. You probably have to wait for this maintenance to occur before you can add your avatar.

Out of interest, I've lost my avatar status now, despite some 1300 posts or so. I went to change it and I couldn't see an option so I selected the "delete current avatar" one and now I can't put any up. I've emptied cache, quit and restarted Safari, logged out, logged in... Any help would be appreciated.

I am having the same problem, I reached 500 last night and still can't make an avatar.

PM one of the Mods, they are a great help and can solve your problem.

They helped me get my tar up and running. Thanks to MudBug for your help.

 

[Mr. Anderson]

It should be working now, but if its not, contact Mudbug who messed it all up in the first place.
