Hi, I was just trying to change my avatar to a 100x100 pixel, 24 KB png image and got an error page when I clicked "upload",
"Board Message
Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.
The error returned was:
The upload failed. Please contact a member of staff to help rectify the problem"
And now it's taken away my avatar entirely. It won't even let me put back my old avatar, a 64x64 pixel, 4 KB png. Help?

It's not stated in the upload specifications, but there's a 0.8-Qaanol awsomosity limit to avatar uploads. Since yours weighs in at an even 1.0, you've exceeded that limit, and your avatar is non-uploadable right off the bat. :/

Let's see if I can put up an avatar...
Update: nope, doesn't work for me either.

Weird. I just had a member contact me with what appears to be this exact problem.

I tried a long time ago.. failed... gave up. And that is the story of why I don't have an avatar

I usually look for my Avatar to see where I last posted, and so I can't wait until Ambrosia HQ reads this thread tomorrow.

We better start testing all our controls. For all we know, we might have more problems, or the software itself could be going down. (You never know.)
EDIT: I can't see my friends because of an IPS Driver Error. That can't be good.

I can’t upload an avatar either.
I also cannot view the Members page:

I can't upload any attachments in either Firefox or Safari- I get an error of "You did not select a file to upload. I have plenty of space left, and the files are types that I've uploaded in the past (zip, jpeg).
