Title: Cannot upload avatar
Post by: Kitsune on January 08, 2008, 01:41:04 am
Every time I try to upload my avatar, I keep getting this message:

Quote
An Error Has Occurred!
The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.

Is this problem because of me or the server?

If this is a server problem, when will it be fixed?

Forum problem, PM Gandalf. Quite common with big boards like ours.

When I go to the "Forum Profile Information," I only have one option to choose for avatar:

The screen shot did not come out right but it says:

I will upload my own picture:

I tried sticking a url in there but that does not work.

This problem has been aroused to Sauron. And he will try to correct the situtation ASAP.

Lol, i can see what you did, Internet URL's dont work in the "i will upload my own picture" option, thats only when the picture is on your computer, not from a Internet Link  :lol: :)

Use: "I have my own pic" instead if hosted from a website E.g Imageshack.us

There was no such option when I went to "Forum Profile Information." I only saw "I will upload my own picture."

Before the forum update, I used to see that option aswell but now I only see one option.

Heres a better screen shot that should show what I am trying to say:

And in case you are going to ask, I tried with IE and FF and I get the same display.

The URL option wasn't there before the forum update either, only a long time ago.
It could've been done to save bandwidth stealing from other sites.

This is strange, some people have multiple options and other people do not... :trust:

The default theme has little option, use the babylon one, that one at least has a modify topic button.
