Unable to upload an avatar

Jambalaya

Hey, I've been unable to upload *any* image file from my computer to the forum for an avatar, sig, whatever. It keeps telling me that the filetype isn't supported, even though I'm trying to upload jpegs... I've resized them to be 80*80, made sure they're below the size limit, etc. Any insight into this? It's not the end of the world but it does seem a bit strange...

Same, size and file size doesn't seem to matter.

BusterK

I changed my avatar just a week ago so this must be a recent problem

Sweeney Tom

Yeah, this apparently didn't start happening until last night

FortyTwo tried to change his and couldn't

Half an hour later I tried to change mine while looking at the nostalgia thread and couldn't either

Casually Hardcore

Yeah, guess who can't change his also.

It's like some sort of club.

Onmitsu

Borked here too.

PeppermintGentleman

Yeah...

we are the faceless masses of PA

Midshipman

I haven't been able to change my avatar since the new forums were rolled out.

Rock Holiday

I'm glad it's not just me. I thought I was doing something stupid.

Alfred J. Kwak

was trying to upload a gif avatar and ... yeah

Hardtarget

wish I had noticed this earlier....

AngryNerdBird

Dangit

OmnomnomPancake

and I thought it was because GIFS weren't allowed : (

DualRinzlers

I'm having the same issue. I tried both a gif and a jpg version of my avatar, 80 x 80, but I'm just getting a broken image icon.

The Crowing One

Oh god, save us!

Please?

milk ducks

Broken for me, too. Tried to change it, but it didn't work. Then I tried to use the same picture I had before, and it still didn't work.

RoriProfessor

Not working for me either.

Hi PA denizens,

For this particular sub forum and the threads within it, could you attempt to refrain from gratuitous "me too" posts, when a fixed issue works for you now? They bump the thread and then I have to go and look at it again. If someone has already reported the problem fixed, and it is fixed for you too, simply appreciate that the problem is solved and move along. This would please me greatly.

It would be nice if similar common sense could be employed in the opposite scenario where a bug is open and everything within you is crying out to post "also broken for me!". Please don't

Gracias.

Please follow the guidelines for the forums. It'll get fixed when it get fixed. It's logged in the forum and will be addressed in time. It's obviously affecting all people trying to add a new avatar so we don't need every new user and half the forum confirming the issue.

Thanks.

Hardtarget

so.... any updates on this?

likalaruku

I'm having this problem here AND on The Escapist.

tastydonuts

A lot of people are having the problem... and they're aware of the issue.

There is a thread for it in the Vanilla Forum Comments and Bugs Section.

Just follow that one. I'd imagine they'll get to it as soon as possible.

Hardtarget

oh ha somehow i completely missed that subforum, thanks tasty

This should be fixed

DisruptedCapitalist

Yeah, same thing just happened to me. Balls, should've just stuck with what I had but it was super pixellated.

Drake

Same issue here. I've tried uploading with Firefox and Opera with no success.

Mine was from the old version and so it looked terrible and pixelated so I went to upload a higher res version and I ran into this problem.

MetroidZoid

It works now! Huzzah and many thank yous
