for some reason, i cant upload photos. is it just me, or is something up with the forums?

i heard someone say that the whole xcbux thing was being done again, is that true? is that why i cant upload a photo?

Does your photo fit into the restrictions? [I.E. "All photos must be no larger than 100 kB. Photos must be no bigger than 150 pixels by 150 pixels."]

I just successfully changed my photo under "My Photo".

Or do you mean Attachments [like to posts]?

As for the XCBux thing, I couldn't say...but judged how it went last time I'm going to go with no, personally. That being said, it could just be a permission that wasn't re-ticked when XCBux was discontinued.

ok, when i try to upload a photo, it lets me upload it fine, then when i click "save changes", it takes me to a white screen. refreshing and stuff doesnt work, and no matter how many times i try to put a pic up, it wont come up.

What is the size of the picture you are trying to upload?

Can you post the image?

[Gardevoir]

its pretty big, actually. but it says image scale is on, so i thought it would work. i tried it last time with another big pic, and it worked.

[GothicKratos]

Scaling only scales the images physical size, not the file size itself, so if the file is larger than 100KB it won't work.

[Gardevoir]

oh wow

i just checked the file size. its 28 kb... nowhere near 100.

I call shenanigans!

What file extension is it? [Mine was *.PNG - Avatars only allow *.GIF, *.JPG, *.JPEG, and *.PNG so I would assume it is the same for your photo]

Also, Scaling could also be messed up for whatever reasons. Would it be possible for you to re-size it to 150x150? [If not if you send me the photo/a link to the photo, I can for you.]

[Gardevoir]

yeah, i can resize it. its jpeg, and my old one was, too, so i dont know what the heck is going on this time. i dont know why the screen all of a sudden turns white. shouldnt i at least get some sort of error message or something?

[DarkBlaze557]

I used to see the same issue when uploading photos myself. Rescaling the picture down to 150x150 fixed it for me.

[Gardevoir]

it worked! finally...

[Gardevoir]

now, if i could just get my irc problem solved... id be golden.

[The Main Event]

Having the same issue right now. I resized my photo to 150/150 and everything. Help plz >.<

[Celsius]

I change my profile photo every once in a while.  It just takes the site a little while for the picture to show up.  No worries.  Just give it time.

kk thanks

Note that our server is also missing a needed package for resizing and such to function properly...just need to get Myke to not be lazy.
