    I'm also having trouble posting a new topic in the Request Features sections even though I had no trouble making this one.

    Kind of have a lot of stuff written and don't want to lose it, lol.

    Managed to post the new discussion by breaking down the post into multiple small ones. Is there some kind of character limit for posts?

    Can't say I've had problems, except for editing or deleting posts that I initiate.

    When I try adding an uploading an image, the pop-up window turns into 3 dots like its thinking but then gets stuck there eternally.

    A similar thing happened when I was trying to post a long post.

    I've tried to add an image with multiple browsers now (Explorer, Firefox, Chrome) but I get the same result in all of them.

    On the hand I've seen that Aosaw has changed his profile image several times already. Its like he's mocking me :(

    The wombat does not know of the problems of which you speak. Perhaps you are speaking of a different wombat? :)

    This should probably go in Bugs, incidentally. It certainly sounds like a bug.

    I didn't post it in the bugs section because I thought it was reserved for bugs in BG

    I too haven't been able to upload an image.

    So far I have figured out that you can't use .bmp format.

    You also can not adjust the look of little square profile picture if you are uploading non-square (I have used 110x170 bg’s avatar) image for the large picture in your profile.

    I'm experiencing the same problem. I can't seem to upload any picture for my profile, regardless of file format.

    For image uploads, I used a square .jpg picture which is exactly 800X800 pixels. This is the format required by... DAO? Somewhere. Actually they use the .png format, but those dimensions, I think. Anyway I tried it since our default icons are square, and it added the picture as the portrait immediately. Then you get a new badge which looks like a BG spell icon. :-)

    So, I'm really not sure what the problem was, the only thing I did was use the exact same picture I tried using yesterday, but this time on a different computer.

    But at least I finally got to change my profile pic.

    EDIT: And apparently I'm also the only person that has problems making large posts. Don't really know what the problem is on my laptop.

    Hi @Tanthalas, there was a short period yesterday during which profile pictures weren't updating. It has been fixed since then, which is why its working for you now :)

    I'm making a point of not including a pic. It's how I convince myself (poorly) that I'm not obsessed.
  • TanthalasTanthalas Member Posts: 6,738
    I just tried chainging my forum avatar, and it still won't let me change it if I'm using my laptop. Is there something I need to do on my end to solve this issue?

    "I'm making a point of not including a pic. It's how I convince myself (poorly) that I'm not obsessed."

    It won't work. You'll be sucked in like the rest of us.

    @Tanthalas; have you cleared your cache and tried a different browser?
  • TanthalasTanthalas Member Posts: 6,738
    I just tried the clear cache thing. Didn't work.

    It seems to be something specific on my laptop. My Mac desktop has no problem with changing the avatar (maybe I should try making a large post on my Mac too).

    @System I have been able to add a photo before, but I am now unable to do so, yesterday 06/05/12 I was getting error 06, and today I am just getting the 3 dots going endlessly.
