Uploading a profile picture issues
« on: February 09, 2022, 01:57:20 PM »
Hello, I been trying to get a profile picture uploaded here, but it doesn't seem to work. I want to use one of my own images, but it's not working. I also tries the url thing, no luck. Could someone fix or patch the profile picture thing? Thank you.

Hi Angelgreat
Go to your profile (your name right at the top of the page, when you are logged in)
Select "Forum Profile Information" in the left side menu
Select "I will upload my own picture"
You should be able to select an image from your hard drive or storage (I have a distant memory from when I did it that there may be a size limitation).  It should appear above the Browse button.

When you believe that you have done that successfully, do one more thing:
Select "Look and Layout Preferences" and make sure that "Don't show users' avatars" is unchecked.

Good luck.
If it still doesn't work please send me a PM, telling me how far you were able to get, and then what happened, so that I can take it up with IT.

I tried different sizes for uploading a profile picture, no luck. I think the profile picture uploaded needs to be fixed or updated to work in the 21st century internet.

May I ask for some patience.  As you will have seen elsewhere on this forum, IT are making   significant changes, and I have no doubt that the profile picture problem can be sorted out thereafter.

I believe this was brought up a while ago the function to upload a profile photo hasn't worked for a number of years.I tried it about 3 years ago and couldn't upload one then.
