WTF MAN

[Socks]

yo forum bitches, why can't i change my profile picture. it won't let me either directly upload from my desktop or hold a hosting address. it displays it and then when i hit change profile it does some shit and removes the url and image.

it is forcing me to write this pathetic thread whoring myself out for help. how dare you boyah.

are you sure you're actually hitting the "I will upload my own picture" radio button

yeah i'm not that clueless.

i get this when i hit save changes/change profile to upload/save the image i selected from my desktop.

An Error Has Occurred!
The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.

i figured it out. for some reason the image hosting url was reading https and the boyah system will only accept http (no s).

all good.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

what image format are you using lol

i would experiment but if it's a sever issue then i'd lose my own avatar and i don't want that

oh, duh

boyah is the most insecure forum of all time

so links with https are generally incompatible with it

it usually manifests itself as youtube tag frustration:

[Kalahari Inkantation]

he'd better pour some of his billions back into boyah's decrepit servers

boyah got him to where he is today

also i was saving it as a png on my desktop. i am a png whore

well, png is the one true image format, so there's no shame in that lol
