Mark C. Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Something is wrong with the new software that makes it impossible to post an avatar. I suggest to anyone who has an avatar to leave it alone until this issue is repaired. I have been trying for weeks now to get an avatar after trying to upgrade a new one. I have had little feedback on this except from Bruce so I'm posting this notice here so you leave your avatar alone if you have one. If anyone can get to the bottom go this please post it here so we know its fixed. Mark C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this gets resolved soon! The forum looks so sad with so many anonymous faces... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I have email two administrators but no response yet. And memorial day weekend is coming up. I didn't realize there was a problem there or I wouldn't have deleted the one I had up there. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denice Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 My avatar disappeared last time they had software problems, I have never tried to replace it. It's good to know I'm not alone with the missing avatar. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Reich Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I had no success today posting my first avatar. Glad to know it's not just me. (I have a really cool pic, too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtRoads Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Has this been fixed? I never see the upload button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy_in_GA Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Someone else (Giselle maybe) mentioned you have to do it differently now. Upload the pic you want to use as your avatar to your gallery. Select that pic then under the options button, select set as photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 i remember that mine had to be known to the computer as a "PHOTO" not avatar. i will never try to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algebraist Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Thank you! I have been trying to set my avatar / profile picture for a few days now, with no luck. I sent messages to a couple of administrators today, but haven't heard back. So I am eager to try Judy_in_GA's advice: Upload the pic you want to use as your avatar to your gallery. Select that pic then under the options button, select set as photo. but I can't seem to figure out how to upload a picture to my gallery. If I choose "My Content" from my account page, then there is a link for "Gallery", but there is an empty table with "No information to show" there, and no way I can see to add a picture. Any help would be appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy_in_GA Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Algebraist ... You need to choose "My Gallery" from the account page then you can follow the instructions in this post. http://community.ceramicartsdaily.org/topic/8679-instructions-for-uploading-images-to-the-gallery/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algebraist Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Beautiful -- thanks! For any others having this trouble, "My Gallery" isn't a choice from the account menu until after you've uploaded a photo... But you can use the "Gallery" menu choice in the green header bar at the top of every page (where the chocies are "Ceramic Arts Daily", "Forums", "Members", and "Gallery", and then off to the right "View New Content").

Judy_in_GA Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Great tip ... I'll remember that next time if someone is brand new. Glad you were able to get it to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
