We're aware that avatar uploads aren't working. A support question has been raised with the software maker, but no answers have been found yet (in fact, after a lot of back-and-forth, they pretty much came out stumped).
For the time being, you'll have to select one of the already-available avatars on the system. If there's a Jim-related avatar that seems to be missing, let me know, and I'll see if I can do something about that!

How about adding in stuff from other fandoms that are well received amongst the Butcher fans? I know there alot of Browncoats among us, and just general fans of Joss Whedon.
We could have a poll or something.
-
I want to be careful about what sort of images we end up choosing to display, but that's a thought.

I'm sure you have... but did try setting CHMOD to 777 in the directory where the AVs are to be uploaded? I work with vBulletin Board software which is pretty similiar to this, I can check and see what they say to do...

All that's done. It doesn't seem to be a directory permissions based issue. It's more a problem with the software not seeming to recognize that a file upload's happened -- even though PHP's configuration is set to explicitly allow such things.

Hello, I have an smf forum (my 3rd actually) are you sure you have changed the right settings in the Admin panel for members or perhaps for individual groups? If you are the admin then test if you can upload since the admin should be able to do everything, if it not a problem for admins, then I would say it could be as I suggested above.
If you want more help let me know :)

Admin's couldn't do it, when I had the permissions turned on to allow it. At this point, I'm not too stressed about it not working. Saves me some disk space. :)
-
hmmm strange. I will give it further thought.
If you offer the option to point to an external avatar eg on photobucket or imageshack then it wont be using your bandwidth:)

I doubt Fred wants users to be able to point to external files on a site that is ostensibly an extension of Jim's public image. Seems a good idea to me (much as I'd love to have my own avatar) to keep a fairly tight wrap on that sort of thing.
-
It would save on bandwidth. Besides, avatars content can be enforced by the simple means of establishing rules and looking at the avatars that people use. Or forcing people to upload custom avatars, which are then subject to admin approval.
-
Why do Avatars matter, they are little pictures - I post on this thing because I like to chat with other Fans not so I can see my favorite picture
Why stress the Admin they are already doing such a good job
I guess the admin are also waaaay more patient than I am
If the Avatars don't upload make do with what they have given us already
-
Strange thing is, I'm seeing people with avatars which don't appear on the list which is offered to me.
So am I looking at the wrong list, or have I not levelled-up far enough, or what?
???

Apparently, when you hit a certain number of posts (100, I think), you get the option in your settings.
-
Must now post many times.
*looks at post number*
Many many more times.

I just think it's great that Iago has given me (and a couple others) the chance to lend our avatars for the board to use. And that also reminds me that I have a bunch that I've shared here, but have neglected to send to Iago to add to the available avatars.
*adds it to my To Do list*

Well, if you get the artist's permission, this could be Mister, posessed by Bob:

(Yes, I know Mister's not black. Go with it.)
-
I love the drawings, but those cats are far too thin! Perhaps they are to Mister what Perdita is to Agnes Nitt?
-
I have a drawing of Mister that I did if you guys are in need of an avatar of him. Just tell me where to send it.
-
Lets see if mine works!

Answered my question ;)
BTW, the links are to avatars I own (one a custom purchase, the other an edit with permission from the originator to use and pass along).

What size files are most avators?

How about Gravatar?

Today I edited my Profile, and I lost my Avatar!!
All attepts to locate Avatars failed.
Attepts to add a pic via HTTP-formate from MySpace - failed.
Um.....Help?
-
I am unable to get any kind of avatar to work. The profile option is there (and I have more posts than some I've seen with avatars, so I know thats not it). The scroll window to choose one appears extremely thin, and if i click within it i get a whole one pixel changing from white to black, but thats the most response i can get out of the thing.
-
If you have less than 100 posts, you cannot upload your own avatar, you'll have to use one of the ones the site provides until then. Could this be part of the problem?
-
I've brought it to Fred's attention. Most likely, the code is just pointing to the wrong subdirectory in the wake of the site move. If so, it should be an easy fix.
-
Might be fixed. Give a look.
-
I'm getting nothing looking for avatars. Looks like this:

-
Grump.
Hopefully I fixed it THIS time. :P
-
YEAH! I see them! :) At least it's fixed for me! :)
-
My Avatar is also back - Thanks!!
-
All is right with the world
-
i have a pic i want to use as a avatar how do i do it?
what do i have to do? it is a still pic, no animation
-
There's actually a thread on this, and if I could remember the name, I'd send you there, but here's the short form.
host your pic on something like photo bucket. Once it's there, they'll give you code which you copy and paste into the "I've got my own photo on the internet" section of your profile. Post it there, and viola! Personal avatar.
-
omg that sounds so difficult, i do not think i will be able to do that... will you please hold my hand, while i try...
I love snark. thanks for the help
-
Welcome... let me know if you need me to push the button for the crosswalk.
-
they dont really let me cross the street anymore... not after the incident
-
the.... incident??

Is there a certain post count you have to hit before this is available? I have looked on every single page I could find and have not seen this option anywhere.
All i have is Personal picture, and to chose from the preset avatars, and personal text below that.

When you hit 100 posts, you get to choose your own avatar. Start posting!

Go to the McAnally's section and read some of the stuff in there. I'm sure you'll find plenty to say.
