Buzzard Posted November 17, 2018 at 04:14 AM Share Posted November 17, 2018 at 04:14 AM I decided to upload a new profile photo to my account and have encountered a problem. I deleted my old photo and tried uploading my new photo but the new file won't appear in the preview frame. I've tried different pictures, all jpgs, but with no success. Any suggestions?

InterestedBystander Posted November 17, 2018 at 04:19 AM Share Posted November 17, 2018 at 04:19 AM Thats a problem with the current version of the board...which will no doubt be fixed in the upcoming upgrade ;-) For now you can try hosting the image on an external host and point to the URL. Alternatively Mauserme has been able to fix for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok Buzzard . Quite a few others have the same problem. In fact the family resemblance is striking. Now there's a scary thought for you.

Scipio24 Posted November 17, 2018 at 08:32 PM Share Posted November 17, 2018 at 08:32 PM NPCs! I host photos for free here: https://picr.de/index.php It is in German, though. I don't speak German, but it's pretty straight forward. Then you can direct your avatar to the URL after you uploaded and viola! That's how I got my profile picture done.

TRJ Posted December 5, 2018 at 01:09 PM Share Posted December 5, 2018 at 01:09 PM Png won't work if file is too big. I open all photos with MS Paint, Save As .png file. Haven't had a problem with posts doing it that way.I do have my profile hosted elsewhere though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted January 25, 2019 at 09:34 PM Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 at 09:34 PM What is the size of the avatar frame? So I can size my image correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
