Clumber Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) I have tried everything I can think of from resizing, changing extension, reducing colours, and am now down to just cursing at it. I keep getting "has to be an image file." I have tried jpg, gif, bmp, and for the hell of it, png. Same response. It is less than 80x80 and under 20k. -tantrums- Help? I just now uploaded the drastically resized and depthed photo to FB so I could put it here : See it is now tiny and fugly pixelated but I could live with it if I could just figure out what the secret password is. Absurd to me that I can show it here from FB, of all places, but cannot upload it directly from my PC with the "choose file" option. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

PlasticWeapons Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 You can't upload photos to ARC directly from your computer, that option was disabled years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clumber Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Since the avatar change section has "Your image avatars Upload a new image from your computer" I thought it was a different security setting. It's decoying?? You can't upload photos to ARC directly from your computer, that option was disabled years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'd move a full res,reduced size image to your FB page, copy the image url, then paste it into your Avatar image drop down. The key thing to look for is the [img/] brackets around your picture. FB can be used the same way as Photo Bucket, and I think it's allot easier too. Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clumber Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Okay, I opened a photobucket account so I could use the photobucket instructions and viola. Our puppy, Prim, from our 6th Generation of our own breeding is now my avatar. I might play around more with higher def version. THANKS ALL! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

82Whitey51 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 OK, I've tried all these things and no dice...resized, png, jpeg, jpg...did they just do away with the option all together? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 OK, I've tried all these things and no dice...resized, png, jpeg, jpg...did they just do away with the option all together? Yup....uploading was stopped long ago after a couple of hacker attacks. Send me the image by PM or send me a URL for the image and I'll upload it for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm fine without an avatar or pic. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RichardL Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hey Steve, my custom avatar no longer shows up ever since the forum change over, and there isn't an option to update the default avatar under profile settings. How do people change their avatar nowadays, sending it to you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
