Trouble setting profile pic
« on: April 23, 2020, 07:37:07 PM »
I've been trying to set my profile picture to the image I'm using for other forums, but I can't figure out how to set it. When I select "Specify avatar by URL" paste in my picture URL (https://i.imgur.com/T7xAfPy.gif), and hit Change profile, it goes right back to "No avatar" without any sort of error message. I saw another post on the forum somewhere that suggests it should be 80x80 (it is), and the example url shows it as a gif (converted to gif). What am I not getting? The complete lack of documentation on these constraints within the Personalized Picture section makes this feel buggy and frustrating.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

Are you trying on a computer or mobile device?

You may have found a bug... I'll work on it this weekend

hmmmmmmmm.....

ok, you seem to be correct.
Uploaded avatars work fine
choosing from the gallery works fine.
attempting to use an external URL for the image seems to break, even though it says "saved"

very odd....

this is going to take some work. :(


--edit--   welp, guess not that much work.  tried a few different settings and  it seems to be fixed now!
