+Nathan Strum Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I tried (repeatedly, and with different browsers - Safari, Chrome and Firefox) uploading a new avatar, and the forum software wouldn't show the new image. It seemed to upload it, but never showed a preview, and never saved it. So I tried removing the old one, which worked, but now I can't get anything to upload. So I'm stuck with the grey Yar thing. Unvision must have the guys who work on their blog software doing avatar support now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 You're not the first person to report this in the last 24 hours. Will take a look at this today. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I can reproduce this behavior on my end as well. Will file a support ticket if I can't figure it out myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Looks like a recent security patch broke this. I have submitted a support ticket. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 If you upload your avatar somewhere online and link to it, that works. But I'm sure they'll break that in the next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I hope to have the forum upgraded next weekend, at which point the avatar uploading issue should be fixed. Invision has identified the issue that caused the previous upgrade attempt to fail, so I'm going to work on getting the upgrade to work on a mirror copy of the forum, and once that works, I will then upgrade the live forum. In the meantime, as Nathan pointed out, if you upload your avatar to an off-site location, you can then point the forum to that URL and it will update your avatar. Using a site such as imgur will work fine for this purpose. Or you can send the avatar to me and I will stick it on AtariAge.com, give you an URL, and you can then update it that way. I'm eager to get the forum upgraded, as several issues will be fixed, and it better positions me to upgrade to the new 4.x software once that has sufficiently matured. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+frankodragon Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I had the same problem updating mine. I just uploaded the image to my gallery and copy/pasted the Image Link from Options>Share Links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Defender_2600 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hi Albert, it seems that it is not possible to properly upload a simple GIF image as Avatar, you do not get the Avatar _animated_ .I also tried with some URL but are not accepted.

I also tried with some URL but are not accepted. I had disabled animated gifs as I sometimes find them to be quite distracting, but I have removed this restriction for now. I reserve the right to remove any animated avatars that are too obnoxious. Can you try uploading it again? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
