Avatars

[eisefr]

Hi.. Did you get a chance to find a solution for the problem with the avatars?

(The avatar filetype must be .jpg, .gif or .png)..

No I did not. If You look at mine avatar that is a gif.

Which of the options have You tried with?



will move this to website discussion forum.

[eisefr]

I downloaded your filetoo.... and i got the same errormessage.

[tommy]

Did you specify the avatar in the box where you uploaded it from your pc or from a remote url?


btw I think I will test a chat feature on the site tonight. The really good thing about this new forum is that it is very easy to put in new things and a lot of good functionality has been developed for this forum.

Frank, can You attach documents in test forum?

btw I get the same error now but the other day I did upload my avatar this way... :x

[tommy]

Frank, this is really weird.

If You can put Your avatar on a website then use the option "upload from remote" then it should work. At least it worked for me and I did reproduce the error You get when uploading from a local file.

[eisefr]

I will try to link a picture as my avatar.
To upload a file in the testforum didn't work either :-/

Maybe a problem with our firewall here. I will try that from my privat computer again.

My wife decided for THIS avatar.. I guess I can forget about uploading another one... :roll: :wink: :roll: :wink: :wink: :roll: :wink: :roll: :roll:

[eisefr]

Isn't she nice?`???

Yes.. she isn't... :P

[tommy]

Frank, could I bother You with one more test?

Try logging on to this testsite:

http://test.sc-resources.net:8181

The port number last is important, that test site is on a linux pc. If You could logon and test the upload of avatar and other files.

[eisefr]

I will try.. can take a few minutes.. cause I am working from home.. and I also get calls...

[eisefr]

Done...

But after I uploaded the avatar.. i am not able to login anymore.
Don't know why...


I changed my email address in my profile....

I hope..

I had a call when i did that.. maybe i did something wrong...

Can you check it for me?

[tommy]

The reason for that is because You changed the email address. The board is setup to inactivate the account if the email address is changedm You should receive an activation mail.

The reason for that behavior is to prevent users from registering with a valid email address and then change it to an fake email address!

[eisefr]

But I was able to upload another avatar.
That worked at least.

NOT in the test system 8)

well ok then just as long as you onyl do it on the test site :P

in any case I think the problem has been solved now if You would like to try an upload.

[eisefr]
