Tina 0 Posted June 16, 2005 (edited) Hey guys I wanted to update my avatar. had all the specs right, Have done it before..And it won't let me do it its says "The upload failed. Please contact a member of staff to help rectify the problem" huh? Edited June 16, 2005 by Ambassador tinadoll Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 5 Posted June 16, 2005 Are you hosting the avatar or are you trying to 'upload' it? Because I don't believe that we are able to use the upload function with pics at this time. I believe that invision has upgraded their software again so this function will not work for us until our next upgrade. I'm certainly willing to host the avatar pic for you if you don't have web hosting.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 5 Posted June 16, 2005 *Is Space Tigger a moderator?* Uhh... I uploaded mine. :huh: You uploaded yours? How long ago? Last time a member had similar problems the upload function wouldn't work.

A l t e r E g o 9 Posted June 16, 2005 I think the problem is somehow account sensitive, some have problems some don't, some have problems in one area such as avatars and some don't while some have trouble with attachments and others do not. I can upload new avatars but not make attachments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just posted an pic Data had hosted for me (which I thank him once again for doing that for me) because I could not upload one from my computer. I cannot upload avatars or personal photo. But I think I can still do attachments, I am not sure I have not tried that yet. I know there are times where I cannot see images (some Sigs, some avatars, and when the ENT banner poll was being run I could not see half of them in that thread but when they were in the rotating banner I could see them most of the times) Edited June 16, 2005 by Yillara_Soong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted June 16, 2005 Last VBG and I talked about it he said he had an idea about why it was happening and would contact Invision about it, apparently finding the cause and applying the subsequent fix is still pending... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just haven't had time to sit down and do it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted June 16, 2005 :huh: 12 hours of no STFs??? NOOOOOooooooooo!!! Please, when you decide to do it; make it an overnight job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tina 0 Posted June 16, 2005 DON"T DO IT Thanks To Space Tigger i got my avatar the way i wanted it...*faints* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordOfTheBorg 1 Posted June 20, 2005 12 hours?.. can you break it into incriments? because go 12 hours on updating a site is pretty hard! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted June 21, 2005 What I'll try to do is to make a full backup of the board and install it onto another database, then I'll upgrade that and do all of the required work there and save it. Then when I do the real upgrade the board won't be down for very long at all. And when I do it I'll try to do it overnight when most people are asleep.

HRH The KING 0 Posted June 21, 2005 When you upgrade the board VBG, you might want to consider changing the board style too. The "LCARS" style is looking a big stale now. Something "sleeker" might look better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For now though there's no set plans for a new skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPsychic 1 Posted June 21, 2005 This may be offtopic, but I like the LCARS look of the board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HRH The KING 0 Posted June 21, 2005 It's OK, but a second skin with a cooler sleeker design would be a nice option for the members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted June 21, 2005 As I said, if things work out and for the right price we might have a few more choices. But it's all dependant upon costs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Data 0 Posted June 24, 2005 After reading this thread, I have come to the conclusion that VBG is very accommodating. VBG, you are the best. :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yillara Skye 1 Posted July 12, 2005 (edited) I guess there is still a problem.. I did try uploading an attachment too, and found that I cannot do that either. So I guess I cannot update my avatar yet I love my cat, Crystal, but I was planning on updating my avatar.... The pic I have now was hosted by Data for his board's pet forum.. I know that I could always ask for him or one of the mods here to host an avatar for me. But I was curious as to whether the whole upload error thing had had any new info. I will continue to wait it out , I know you guys are doing the best you can without completely taking the boards offline.

KIMIMELA 1 Posted July 12, 2005 Hhmm... I like that test place. Why not keep the same background but use the blue "table" idea? I do think we need to freshen up a bit. Oh, VBG, thanks for a great site. :VBGal2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
