antiaircraft Posted May 3, 2008 Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempdisplay Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share 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? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly Posted May 3, 2008 Share 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 Share Posted May 3, 2008 the thing about that was that it made the pic really small. but thanks anywayz :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted May 3, 2008 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 4, 2008 Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I must have missed it then. Well, at least this time I'm fortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruto Posted May 24, 2008 Share 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 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Try to poke Ian with a fork... it might work, who knows! =p Seriously, you could try another browser... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockedsane Posted May 25, 2008 Share 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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 25, 2008 Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Try it now :) It should be working now. Let me know if it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruto Posted May 28, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 28, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Could somebody take a screenie of and post it here please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruto Posted May 28, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 29, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I let Ian know about the problem. ;o Hopefully we can have it fixed very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 29, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruto Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 *sigh* Still the same error. This bug is really "bugging" me. xD *dies* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Try again now :) It should be fixed... pretty sure this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruto Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 No dice. Maybe I should just lay in obscurity for a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revenge Posted May 31, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkOfEternity Posted May 31, 2008 Share 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...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
