tempdisplay Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 It appears I can't seem to upload a picture for my avatar and personal pic on TDNF can someone tell me why this is happening because I want an avatar to be seen on the forums. Thanks ---------------------------------------------
antiaircraft Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Well in order to diagnose your problem, we'd need to what error you got when you tried to upload an avatar. :yes:
tempdisplay Posted May 3, 2008 Author Posted May 3, 2008 this is the message: The error returned was: The upload failed. Please contact a member of staff to help rectify the problem why i'm i reported? :(
Superfly Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 This actually happened to me just the other day. What I did to solve the problem is upload the image to imageshack (no signup required) and then gave the forums the URL it gave me and everything seemed to work from there.
tempdisplay Posted May 3, 2008 Author Posted May 3, 2008 the thing about that was that it made the pic really small. but thanks anywayz :D
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Woah, are you sure your signature picture isn't over the limit of the size you can have? Funny, it didn't happen to me. When was it not working?
antiaircraft Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Well the only thing I can think of is that the server was having some trouble - it seems like Ian got it fixed though, 'cos it's working for me. :yes:
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 I must have missed it then. Well, at least this time I'm fortunate.
Ruto Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Okay, now I'm having the same problem. When I tried to change my personal pic by uploading something from my computer, all I got was, "The upload failed. Please contact a board administrator." And when I try to put in a url for my image, nothing happens. It's not like the picture is too big or anything, and now I have no personal pic. Solutions?
Xepha Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Try to poke Ian with a fork... it might work, who knows! =p Seriously, you could try another browser...
shockedsane Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 that exact same problem is happening to me too & i'm not sure why either. ( i own my own ipb forums & have uploaded the same image from there & i've checked the dimensions are correct etc )
antiaircraft Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Poking Ian seems like the best thing to do - just not with a fork, we don't want him accidentally injured. :P I can confirm the upload trouble as well by the way. :yes:
Ian Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Try it now :) It should be working now. Let me know if it's not.
Ruto Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Meh, I've still got the same results. And everyone in the house uses IE. We don't have another browser. x_x
antiaircraft Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Yeah, I'm still getting the upload error here. I've tested it in a Firefox 3 nightly build, Firefox 2, and Opera, all with the same error, so it doesn't seem to be a browser problem.
Xepha Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Could somebody take a screenie of and post it here please?
Ruto Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 That's what happens when I try to upload an image from my computer. When I put in a URL link, nothing happens, as in the page doesn't refresh or reload.
antiaircraft Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 I don't think that system is actually built to take uploads from other URLs... In any case, that's the exact same error as the one I encountered.
Xepha Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 I let Ian know about the problem. ;o Hopefully we can have it fixed very soon.
Ian Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 TRY AGAIN. :D It should be working now. Ever since the server move, the path to the uploads directory changed. It should be fixed now.
Ruto Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 *sigh* Still the same error. This bug is really "bugging" me. xD *dies*
Ian Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Try again now :) It should be fixed... pretty sure this time.
Ruto Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 No dice. Maybe I should just lay in obscurity for a while...
Revenge Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah, I tried to change my personal pic yesterday and that same thing happened. Just tell me when it's fixed.
MarkOfEternity Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I don't know if this will help much... since we said it wasn't a browser issue, but my new avatar seemed to upload find. I'm using Firefox version 2.0.0.14. Edit: Nevermind. It said it uploaded, but I don't see the picture next to my name. Maybe I did it wrong? Re-Edit: Yup, I just did it wrong. I see it now. So...I guess it works for me? It might be fixed...?
