Title: Broken Avatar (SOLVED)
Post by: Eris on July 09, 2016, 02:33:40 PM
My avatar is broken and I can't seem to fix it. When I try to upload a picture from my computer, I get the message, "The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved."

EDIT: I also tried uploading it to an image hosting website* and then selecting it from there, but that didn't work either. It said it worked ("Your profile has been updated successfully."), but my avatar remains broken.

That might have something to do with the forum moving servers?

Maybe try PM-ing Eriaror or one of the other mods, they may be able to look into it.

Same, I haven't used the forum for a while and I presumed that the avatar may have just expired or something. I'll probably get a new one anyway

I tried to change icon on wrong time, right? I can't use my own photo, I can't upload.....
and avoiding to be avatarless, I chose from gallery............

Does anyone know when it will be good again?

You just gave a clue! :D
I noticed a bad setting and changed it. Could you try uploading an avatar now?

Mwahaha! It is now (mostly) solved! When I tried to upload it from the URL, that didn't work, but when I uploaded it from my computer, that did work. I am happy now. :D
