@Stefan

It's strange. I can update it.
I did it with both *.png and *.jpg

i


One issue is that the pressing of the button does not seem to update the avatar image. When I did mine off of a project where I had an avatar, there was no indication that the image uploaded. But, pressing update after the no action did load the avatar.

So, my first question is if [B^S]Stefan@Home did try an update after seemingly failing to upload the image ...

My second question is if he would send me, or you, the image so someone else can try to see if the problem is with the specific file in question ...

{edit}

The second point is that aftrer the upload button is pressed the page shows the image uploaded ...

Well I tried it again, and it doesn't work for me...

I only clicked on "use this uploaded avatar" in the community prefs, choose the file from the HDD, and then click on update on the bottom of the site. Then the site reloads and I still see the old avatar in the avatar preview, but I also don't get any error message...

The file I'm trying to upload is this one -

No need to send me the file ... i dowlonaded it from here ... and I cannot use it either ...

INterestingly enough I tried another image and that did not work either ... so, I am not sure what is going one here ....

I think the REAL problem is not that you cannot save the avatar, it is that you cannot CHANGE it once it is set. I tried several of the Avatar images here and cannot change my avatar image from the one that I have currently set ... so, the problem is not that you cannot save the avatar ... it is that once you have selected one, you cannot change it ...

And I tried at SaH and there is nothing wrong with the file ... so, the problem is here ... not sure what the problem could be ...

But, I hope the new information will help the web guys figure this out ...

Ah ok, just saw your PM. Well if you already tried it and it doesn't work for you either, I can at least be sure that I'm not to dumb to upload it... ;-)

But somehow you managed it to use Ignasi's avatar?

Yea, I haven't seen your edit... Anyway, thanks for trying Paul!
Let's see what Ignasi or Gianni can do about that...

All I can say is that it is not the file, it works on another project ... and I cannot change my avatar to any avatar that already works ... so ...

The best we can do, now we wait again ... though, all things considered this is not something I would be too excited about ... but that is just me ... I usually have avatars turned off just to save a little on thread speed ... again, it is just me ...

As you can see I have been able to change it again for 3 times already with no problem...
Is it consistent among other users? Does anyone else report the same problem?

Well, SOMETHING changed ...

Cause I was NOT able to use his Avatar ... now I can ... well ... I guess it is fixed ... or was never broken, we just did not know how to use the buttons or something ...

Whatever ...

It seems to work for me now too ...

Great! Now I was able to change my avatar...

But it still didn't work like it should. I first had to click on "use no avatar", then update, and after that I was able to upload a new avatar...
Anyway, thanks for your work Ignasi! :)
