Unable to upload an avatar

Jambalaya · August 2011

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 · August 2011

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

Sweeney Tom · August 2011

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 · August 2011

Yeah, guess who can't change his also.

mrt144 · August 2011

Also Broken for me.

PeppermintGentleman · August 2011

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

Rock Holiday · September 2011

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

Alfred J. Kwak · September 2011

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

Hardtarget · September 2011

wish I had noticed this earlier....

AngryNerdBird · September 2011

Dangit

OmnomnomPancake · September 2011

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

DualRinzlers · September 2011

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 · September 2011

Oh god, save us!

Please?

milk ducks · September 2011

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 · September 2011

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 · September 2011

so.... any updates on this?

likalaruku · September 2011

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

tastydonuts · September 2011

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 · September 2011

oh ha somehow i completely missed that subforum, thanks tasty

Tube · September 2011

This should be fixed

DisruptedCapitalist · September 2011

Yay Vanilla!

Hello Waterface · September 2011

Nope, mine still seems to be un-loadable. :-(

Arch · September 2011

Alfred J. Kwak · September 2011

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

Drake · September 2011

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.
