Broken Avatar (SOLVED)
« 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

When will this problem be fixed? Any estimate from the good technical peoples of these forums? I don't want to be faceless forever :'c
Languages? Only :poland: and :uk: I'm afraid!
