Yes, tried it like 5-6 times with all types of pics at 64x64 and under 48.8 kb. It just says "Invalid File"

The avatar upload is broken, and will never be fixed, thats why, if you host the file somewhere, or email it to me, I can provide you a URL which will work when you put it in the 'avatar url' part.

I had to do this for garou_d last week.

the 'upload from computer' option is broken to fuck, and will never be fixed.

P.S : you are wasting your time with the mods, any problems, please come to me first :mr_t:

:p

heh, so helpful kern, where's your lethargy?! :)

You need to upload the image to your webspace first and refer to it from the User CP. The direct upload function is broken, that's not really a ng.com problem but a side-effect of the vBulletin version used for the site.

Weren't we upgrading or something in the near future? I remember Shawn talking about it months and months ago, but haven't heard anything since.

On topic: The avatar upload function has never worked and this is the umpteenth thread on the subject. They should fix it or remove it as an option. Just sayin'.

AFAIK it's planned to update the bbs software when the main page gets its new layout, can't tell you anything about dates and deadlines though.
