    There seems to be a problem uploading Avatar and Profile Pics. I've tried uploading direct from my computer and also from a photo hosting site. Never had a problem before on this site. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I had minor issues the first time. Not to be sarcastic but I recall it being user error. Read each screen carefully before proceeding.

    I've been using pics smaller than the max. 200 x 200 (39Kb).
    If I upload using a Photo Host I get the message - Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file.
    If I upload directly from computer I get - Upload failed.

    I had an Avatar on here before but wanted to update the pic. Now I have nothing.

    Try a different browser perhaps? Chrome instead of Explorer or Safari instead of Firefox?

    Did not work for me either for some reason. It says the same thing and I tried both getting a picture from my computer and a website

    Try safari on your desktop.

    Profile Pic & Avatar Upload Not Working

    Me, too. I have tried IE, Chrome, iPhone and no luck uploading a profile pic. It's not critical, but I get an error message, "Upload the file failed."

    Problem is fixed.
    I contacted the STT forum and apparently they had moved to a new server and some of the settings had changed. They have now fixed it.:thumb:

    Trying to change and upload a new avatar. The size is correct. I've tried a jpg and png and it saves but then it never shows up?

    Am I doing something wrong?

    It's a blue question mark right now...which I actually have seen a lot lately when people post pictures in their posts (first time I see an avatar like this).

    Usually this mean that the picture they are attaching (or pointing the URL to) is not shared publicly but that couldn't be her problem...
