Can't add photo to profile

[thisismatt 0]

In my attempt to be a good member, I've attempted to add my photo, but doing so merely results in an error -

 

• Open photo editor
• Use a custom photo
• Paste URL
• Click import

Error states "member_profile_disabled" - what?!

 

Any ideas?

You've only written a single post, so it's perfectly possible that you don't have permissions to edit your profile yet.

Oh! Kinda logical, but assumed that having a complete/updated profile would be encouraged without the need for multiple posts! :-/

Yup, some features are limited for new users.

 

You seem to be a human so I've moved you out of the restricted group and into the regular user group. You should be able to set an avatar now.

Would it be possible to do the same for me?

Why not just be active for a while and then get your avatar like everybody else?

 

Given the prior experience with thisismatt who first made a fuss about his avatar and then left the forum, I think the priority should be on useful posts rather than fancy profiles.

Yes you are true. It is just more cool to have a picture to show to others when talking rather than a shade. But I will have an avatar soon anyway

That doesn't mean you should now frantically dig out all kinds of old threads to increase your post count. Relax.
