JohnD Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I deleted my old pic, but the new one will not upload. Or rather, it says it has uploaded, but does not appear, on the 'change photo' page or on the board The new is only 251Kb. What's the problem? It works fine here!

Gully Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I've managed to upload a photo into my galley now, but blowed if I can work out how to make it my avatar! I suspect the photo is too large, as when I select the option to use it as my photo I just get a small box that I can move around the image, but not enlarge. Guess I need to get off the iPad and onto the PC where my photo software is and try a smaller file size... Still - a step closer Gully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinR Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 The image needs to be about 100 pixels by 100 pixels. The easiest way to insert the avatar is to view the thumbnail of the picture in your gallery, then right click on it to get the properties box, note the full file name that the thumbnail is stored as, and then insert this in the box for the location of your avatar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gully Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Many thanks, Kevin! The need for right clicking is always a barrier on a tablet... All the best, Gully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinR Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I thought that a right click on a tablet was done by pressing and holding for several seconds - it's like than on my android tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gully Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 The issue with the iPad is that when you press and hold the thumbnail you get various options for it (save, open in new window etc), but the location property is embedded in the menu header and inaccessible. If you open in a new tab, the header URL is shown as a general TSSC zone, but not the specific file - no idea why on that. I guess the way forward if working solely on an iPad would be to actually save the thumbnail within the gallery as a separate image, or back onto the photo stream and then upload again as a new image. Thanks again, Gully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mackenzie Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I couldn't get this to work so signed up with Gravatar and used an image uploaded to Gravatar, then chose the Gravatar option for this forum. Seems to work OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
