Avatars

[Insomniac]

need some help with avatars, i was offline for a fair while and when i came back i could no longer upload my avatar, anyone know any fixes or if this is a common problem?
i get some java code error when i try (using both firefox and IE)

We are waiting for the forum designers or what not to release a patch to fix our avatar issue.

Yeah I'm getting the same thing.

[Insomniac]

seems like theres a few that joined around 2003 that dont have their avatars, at first it was just blank for me then i went to fix and had to use one of the forum defaults =\

Are you both able to go into your profiles? Thats where you can upload your avatars. If you get an error when you try to get into your profile, then you need to contact one of the admins. Only they can fix your profile so you can get back in. Try and contact Krbadass, Wilik, Ciber, or Suede. They hang around the IRC channel or you could give them a PM with your problem. Here's the Server/Channel for Gotwoot:
Server: irc.rizon.net
Channel: #gotwoot

check the main page!
there gunna fix the problem

[xertal]

Seems something has happend, i get an other message. Now i'm questioning myself : Is it fixed and it's my owen stupidity ?

[danholo]

As a n00b, I'm having the same problem that I can't upload a custom avatar. I can get into the profile editing section with no probs but when I try uploading a GIF or JPG image from my hard drive it won't upload onto your server although the file size and pixels are way under the maximum. I like making Kanji into my avatars. i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif

Just a heads up. We are aware of the problems some users are having, not being able to upload their own avatars.

We are working on the issue and hopefully will have it fixed soon.



I wanna get my new avatar to match my sign. i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif No hurry though. i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif

[Assassin]

*goes to destroy random stuff*

[DarthEnderX]

I know, this sucks, I'm totally going to get taken for one of the new generation of noobies here with my "surgeon I think looks like a ninja" that I have now!

[greateachermin]

I know this is still a dumb question but I still have the same problem uploading my avatar.
It said i shoud upload a gif or jpeg file, which i did, but the same problem still comes up... over and over...
Is it a problem everyone has or just me? I hope someone is looking into this... because i spent all the time making one and now i cant use it.
Much appreciated!

[DarthEnderX]

Same problem, try to upload a gif or jpeg but get an error message that its not a gif or jpeg, but I'm positive it is.

[Hellraiser]

Try looking 3-4 posts up.

[Warmaster]

Amazing how people don't seem to know how to read on forums. You would think its a pre-requisite to sign up but apparently not

[Maverick-DBZ-]

God damn it people read the post I posted above. It has a quote stating that the admins/mods know of the problem and are trying there best to fix it! I also have the same problem but there is no need to keep complaining.

[MemnochTheCaT]

This isn't meant to be taken as a complaint, but is there any news on this front? I am one of the '2003' members with the avatar bug.

[Maverick-DBZ-]

As you can see I'm a 2004 member and I have the bug aswell.


No news yet! i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

[HitokiriBattousai]

i am also having the same problem hope somebody can fix it

[Hellraiser]

Your sig is too large and I'm pretty sure you do have that problem since everybody else does and you're no exception.

[Kardiva]

Haha, yea i have that same problem too. it's kinda disappointing, espically after i went through every single post i could find on the subject. i guess i'll have to wait for the problem to be resolved. i just joined anyway....

[danholo]

Well, for now, the wheel chair I picked is original! But I notice Maverick-DBZ- having a custom avatar already!

[EndGame]

Ah so i'm not alone in this, cool. I'll keep watch for when this is fixed.

[kakashi-chan]

Hmm, I don't see the avatar message from the moderators anymore... and I'm still having trouble... any updates yet??

[ChaosK]

i'm still having problems so i'm guessin so is everybody else... nothing we can do but keep waiting i guess

The avatar I have now is from a year ago danholo. I want to change it to this.

So I'm still screwed here like everyone else until this problem is fixed. I wonder what's taking so long now? I thought while the forum was down the problem was being worked on but apparently not. i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

[BravoSector]

But yeah, this stinks. i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

[MenchiYumYum]

woo! the moderator told me to go to this thread about my problem and i'm glad to know i'm not alone...yet sad to see that it wasn't something i could fix...anyways

to pass the time....lets talk about other stuff!

ok ok me first! as you can see below, i like ddr! who else likes ddr?!?!?

Please do not go off topic. If you want to discuss something else, please do so in the appropriate forum, thanks.

[Maverick-DBZ-]

LOL! no... i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

[Hellraiser]

Did Samanosuke change his avatar or was it always like that?

[kAi]

It's been that for ages.

[Mut]

So I ask Ciber about the phone call he was suppose to make regarding the avatar bug, ban bug, and the sticky bug...

[18:15] <Mut[at]t[at]> Ciber, how did that phone call go
[18:15] <@Ciber> monday

OMG THAT MEANS TODAY

[Maverick-DBZ-]

Mut@t@ thanks for the update. Hopfully that phone call will come with good news.

Totally agree with you. Funny how a problem like this can persist so long... I guess we'll just have to be patient.

[SK]

any word?

[12:23] <@Wilik> and Ciber did call fusetalk btw
[12:23] <@Wilik> they are working on it

From the looks of it, it's more up to FuseTalk than anything.

[Jman]

Hey guys, Wilik made a topic in General Disc. that says the avatar problem has been fixed!

[Maverick-DBZ-]

Yeah I just saw it myself. It works great but you can only upload .gif files. Which is fine with me. i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[CrackerJason23]

(test)

Kick Ass!

[Hyuuga_Destiny]

I still can't upload
It's 60x60, it's only 2 kb big...
it's Jpeg
and the GIF file that you can see is really bad in quality...

[NM]

Why not take a screenshot of it from the episode where Neji's face poses like that? If your using Windows Media Player, pause the video when you find what your looking for, then press Ctrl I. Then resize the image and save it as GIF (I'm not positive if Jpeg files will work yet).

[Hyuuga_Destiny]

It's still the same.
When I upload it as a JPEG it says this:



There was an error reading your author icon. The error was : Variable TEMPSTRUCT is undefined.

But if I turn the JPEG in GIF, the quality of the picture drops alot.
And the result is this ugly avatar...

[ChaosK]

yeah thats the problem i'm having, my size is 60, 60 and its only 2.something...kb...

EDIT: wait, they said only .GIF files on page 2, i just noticed no wonder.....

[DarthEnderX]

What image program could I use to load a .jpeg and save it as a .gif?

EDIT: I did it with Photoshop. Open the JPEG, then go to Export rather than Save as...

[Mobious]

I have JPEG and GIF 50x50 and smaller avitars (and some 60x60s that I made) but whenever I try to load any of them, and I mean ANY, it gives me an error. The most common one has been: "Variable TEMPSTRUCT is undefined". I made like 20 new ones with both paint and photoshop, saving them all as JPEGs, and I get the same error. Help would be appreciated

[NM]

Use the .gif format. I think theres still a problem with avatars that are in Jpeg format.

[basey44]

this sucks, i wanna change my avatar back to my old one but i dont want it to be crappy quality i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif
lol dammit fix this thing with the jpegs(please i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif)

You just don't know how to save images in gif, that's all.

[XanBcoo]

how do I make it so that, if possible, the avatar I use is not surrounded by a square. What I mean is, I just want the image to show up, and not the square around it.

[complich8]

you need to make the background color transparent.

This can be accomplished in different ways, depending on your image editor of choice. In photoshop, you want to open the "layers" window, select the background layer, and set it to 0% opacity. Make sure you use caution checking the color pallettes, and make sure to enable transparency when you save it, or it won't work. If you already have a flat image file (like a gif, jpeg, whatever), you may have to use other tools to separate layers.

It's been a long time since I've used it, but I seem to remember microsoft image editor having the ability to write transparency pixels directly. ImageReady lets you specify the contents of the first layer when you start it, either as white, black, or transparency.
