avatar help

[flxy_tj]

Ok I have been trying to load up an avatar for my id and I can't get it to let me choose to upload a custom one from my computer.... any ideas. I'm open to suggestions...I go in to the user Control panel and select avatar but it won't let me do anything.... :mad:

What size is the picture? I am not talking about memory size, but physical size. I believe they can only be 75x75 pixels.

Do you have the picture on the web someplace? I can look at it.

[flxy_tj]

:D The control panel will not even let me un-select don't use avatar or reset the fields so I can begin to download a picture.. I will be able to resize the photo , no problem but something in the control panel seems to out of wack or something.... :confused:

[azrocksyj93]

I have the same problem. Any Ideas???? :)

[JamesT]

You guys have got me so scared I don't even ant to try to change mine, to see what you are talking about. Maybe Joe has an idea.

[flxy_tj]

:rolleyes: Ok good I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem... Could it possibly be a problem with the new forum program :confused: .........

[Joe West]

Hi Guys,

I'll login as James and check it out on his account and let you know if it works.

:eek:

I just tried it on my user control panel... works fine both in select from computer as well select from web.

Not sure why yours isn't working??? I'll check your accounts and see if anything funny is going on.

Joe

[flxy_tj]

:) Ok .... That sounds good. hopefully something will turn up... Thanks Joe :D

[azrocksyj93]

He Joe this is what I see when I go to edit Avatar. There is no option to add an avatar on my user CP. At least when you click on edit avatar maybe someplace else I have to turn it on ??????
Thank For the Help
Steve

Your Current AvatarNo Avatar Specified Avatars are small graphics that are displayed under your username whenever you post.
Do not use an avatar
Note: if you have a custom avatar selecting this option will delete it.

[flxy_tj]

That is the same thing that my control panel is telling me.... :confused:

[Joe West]

I checked the BBS settings for avitars... and there is only one setup for the entire site... either on or off. I just changed mine out and this post will be a test to see if it worked. Not sure why a few people would be having problems.

I get a radio button that says Do not use avatar. There is no other option.

I Can Get Mine To Work.


That is funny as hell....

[Joe West]

There is another section called "Use Custom Avatar" right under the "Do not use Avatar" radio button. If you select the "Use custom Avatar" you should be able to pick one off of your hard disk or off the web somewhere.

Avatars are enabled for everyone... I can't even turn them off for selected members... how confusing...

One of you shoot me a PM with your username and password (PM please... don't post it here) and I will login as you and see what you see.

Kind Regards,

Joe

[sschwar4]

Maybe it has to do with attachments?

Stuart

[sschwar4]

I will send password in a seperate email. There is nothing below the "Do not..." button.

Stuart

[Joe West]

I went in and checked your accounts and it showed you had no avatar enabled (your choice). I enabled them... then selected an avatar... which you can now change. Still not sure why some work and some don't... but yours should work now.

Joe

[flxy_tj]

:confused: I have the same thing no option to use custom avatar, I will pm you with my info and see if it works.... I know it is not my computer because it happens at work also.
Thanks

Not my choice. I still see no way to add or change what you have done. Which screen is it under?

[Joe West]

Avatars in User CP.

[sschwar4]

I just went to another site and updated my avatar there. It appears that the only section I see here is the "Do not use an avatar". I do not see the section entitled, "Use custom avatar" or anywhere to put the upload info. If you saw the Use custom part, you have something configured differently and it appears there are others that seem to be missing it as well. I will send in a seperate email the screen shots of what I see and what I should expect to see.

Stuart

[sschwar4]

It does not appear to be OS (98 and XP) or browser related. IE 5.5 , IE 6.0, and Netscape 7.1 all show the same. It could be a Apple thing?

Stuart

[JamesT]

Joe, they are correct. This is the page they and I see:

--James

[Joe West]

Hmmmm..... it can't be an apple thing because I see the avatar control panel fine and I've tested Microsoft Internet explorer, Apple Safari on the server and IE and Netscape on a winblowz machine and I see everything fine, both as administrator as well as my alias user.

I suspect it is a vBulletin problem... I'll try and reset things and see how it goes.

Joe

[Joe West]

Let me know if this fixes the problem...

[JamesT]

Let me know if this fixes the problem...

Same-same.....

BTW - The moderator post que is still not coming up either, it still takes me back to the main page.

[Devil Man]

doom is cool

[sschwar4]

No change...

Stuart

[Turtle]

I'm with the rest. I don't see an option to add my own avatar.

[FourX4MudRomper]

Same here...

[Joe West]

Could someone try it now... I just tried another setting change.

Joe

[Antman]

I'm seeing the same thing as JamesT on the edit avatars page???? I dont think I can change mine either.

[Joe West]

Okay... I just downloaded and installed the latest patches for vBulletin... let's see if this fixes the avatar issues that some of you have been having. Please let me know.

Joe

[Brad]

Still no option to add one for me. I'm even running Safari on a new Mac under OS 10.3.3 No big deal though...

Have a good day

[Joe West]

Try hitting the refresh button to reload the page... just in case...

[JamesT]

That looks like it is working now. Good job.

[flxy_tj]

:cool: Finally got it to work, don't know how it was fixed but it is working now, thanks all who helped out....

[sschwar4]

Great job Joe.

Thanks,
Stuart

[Joe West]

How come everyone is changing their Avatars from the Mac G5 Picture that I used for them?
<grin>


I'll tell you... Macs get no respect...
<big grin>


Joe


Great job Joe.

Thanks,
Stuart

[sschwar4]

I didn't want to waste my time on the G5, I am waiting for the G6.
