colelini00 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Anyone else having trouble changing from the default avatar picture to one of their choice? Have tried several workarounds and it just get stuck cropping the picture. I would love to have a picture of something else lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Try using a different browser. There has been a history of issues on the forum with different browsers behaving differently. Particularly noted for causing issues is Internet Explorer (but it's not the only one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colelini00 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 I have used Safari, Chrome and Firefox on my Mac and none of them have worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 It's been years since I put my 3 flags photo there. I was starting to type this message from my phone from a commuter train where I could not really look to see what needs to be done, however there is no one sitting opposite me at a table seat so now on the laptop. Sure enough I could not change it either using FireFox for Windows. I could browse for a photo and select a new photo, but there did not appear to be any way to tell the forum to do anything with it.

Ha, glad to see I'm not the only one having trouble....Thought I was just being dumb. LOL I've tried multiple profile pics and it just kicks back to browse.

Need more lights Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I tried IE and Chrome, no go. Uploaded the pic to photobucket and the linked the URL, Viola!Temperamental little goose it is... I was growling at the computer screen for a couple hours last night, re-sizing/different images and so on. Good luck, hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colelini00 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Photobucket recognizes the url but it says that the file has to be under 50kb even though I know I compressed the photo to under 40kb. Doesn't seem to want to cooperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need more lights Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) I had to go into my photo editor program... then reduced the image to under 50k kb...then uploaded that image to photobucket. then take the URL and put it into the lower box on the profile pic editor (upload from URL ) and that worked for me. Try that. Edited November 26, 2015 by Need more lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colelini00 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Forums finally allowed me to change it! Maybe that update did it some good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
