Cant change avatar

[M2]

Can't change my avatar...

I put in the url for the pic, and hit ok...and it acts like its doing something, then it comes back and it only gives me the option to upload or choose form the lsit of actors/musicians...

I tried uploading a pic too to no avail... anyone else having issues?

I had that same problem too, but I noticed that if you make you avatar smaller, it will appear.  I guess for me, the files over a certain size would not work.  Because the URL was exactly the same, and the pic was exactly the same.  So try making it smaller (file size and height/width size).

There's a 100 by 100 pixel maximum.  Right now anything over that doesn't work.  I'll be fixing that soon so that oversized avatars will be re-sized to 100 by 100, but I need a few days (moving apartments).

thanks!

I'm having the same problem. How do you modify the size of the picture on My Pictures for Windows XP. I right clicked on the picture and pressed edit then under Paint I changed the size but it just looks like a plain black blob now. I don't understand why it's doing this now, since I'm using the same camera and program that I've used in the past. I even tried to reload my old avatar and it still wouldn't work.

Good luck moving, Andrew!  Congrats on graduation   And good luck waiting for Bar results!

I'm still working on this.  It might be done soon (ie tonight) or it might take a little longer (next week).

You should be able to resize an image in any image editing program.  If all you have is MS Paint, try the "stretch / skew" option.

Okay folks - Avatars should be fixed.  You can now upload a picture of any size or choose one from the internet (respecting copyrights of course).  The picture will automatically be resized to 100 pixels at it's largest dimension.  Let me know if you're still having trouble.
