So it does.


Does anyone know how to set an image to us without it failing?

[Maximum Spin]

HELLO YES THIS IS DOG.

[BlackHeartKabal]

Confirming.

[Starver]

Confirming

ETA: Just punning, not correcting, BTW.

I forgot Starver was here.

I’m in.

[Starver]

I forgot Starver was here.

I'm sneaky, me. Not scum though. Definitely not scum.

I trust you.

I'm gonna guess you're asking about an avatar, yes?

*argh* /gets murdered in the pre-game, showing how untrustworthy Hector is.

[TricMagic]

Yes, Imigur .png just doesn't want to cooperate.

[mightymushroom]

Still in, yes.

[Starver]

Yes, Imigur .png just doesn't want to cooperate.

I just successfully changed my avatar (from nothing) to BHK's imgur-hosted image.

Try that?  Url:http://i.imgur.com/kJj4MvF.png

(I'm undoing it, for me. I've been long long thinking about an avatar of my own, but I'm happier to have none than a stolen/borrowed one.)

You just want to remain faceless so nobody can identify you for your crimes.

is there some sort of size limit?

[Starver]

is there some sort of size limit?

I don't know. On fora that allow(/require) avatars to be locally uploaded and stored upon the forum's own server/cloud itself you will often be told "no bigger than XxY pixels and Z kB" or oversized uploads auto-scaled for you, but for externally-hosted images (like this place needs) I can't see the advantage besides ensuring users don't download a GB-sized image only for it to be browser-resized to a 150x200 appearance or whatever. The forum might disallow an oversized external image (by reading its attributes) but I'd then expect it to tell you that 2048x2480 (or whatever) is beyond what it'd allow, whilst resetting you back to nothing/last-known-good-image.  (What it does if you link to a 'good image' and then you sneakily change the image uoon that exact URI for something out-of-range, I don't know.  Maybe it'd check the header each time, and boot it off if it sees you're trying to trick it. But that's speculation and you're not even getting to that point.)

Did the manage to get the avatar BHK currently uses working for you? Is it that you are having problems submitting the change, for some reason? Then we can work further. Either here or elsewhere (lower forum technical-help-requesting thread or through Private messages, but either way separating this discussion from the game thread before the game itself gets going for real), depending on how quickly we get you happy again.
