Why is it so difficult to upload an avatar on this website?
Ever since Tinypic shut down, it seems like RealGM doesn't want to accept URL's from any other site. There's no option to upload a pic from your own computer anywhere, and there's no list of acceptable image hosting sites available anywhere. So you're just meant to guess which URL's RealGM will find acceptable?
I tried Imgur but RealGM doesn't find this image hosting site acceptable either. Can someone give us some tips for how to upload an avatar that this finicky website won't reject?

Fixed. Tinypic worked. I imagine the issue with Imgur is that they've gone to https
Post the links me to the images you want as avatar. Don't worry about dimensions. Just post the URL of the images.

Thank you, can I ask how you're doing this? Do you have access to mod magic or are you using some website to convert the url to a palatable format?

First you need to click on new post :
There you will need to upload the pic you want (you have the pic in your computer and you browse for it or you copy and paste the link of that pic)
It will say "uplodated completed"
once you uploaded it, this is the tricky part, you need to find the right link to make it appear here
you will need with your mouse to "browse" that pic so a new menu will appear : " copy link and the 3 dots"
Why is it tricky ? Because you need the extension to make it work. You have to choose the "BBCode (Forums)" option because this is the only one with the extension
This one won't work
Code: Select all
https://imgur.com/UYjd3Ny
This one will work because it got the extension you know the thing behind the dot like .png or .jpg ...
Code: Select all
https://imgur.com/UYjd3Ny.png
When you are in profile "edit profile" then "edit avatar", just put the "direct" link without the img stuff. Only use them when you use a pic in the forum.

Re: Why is it so difficult to upload an avatar on this website?
Here is a link to the page that holds the picture I want as my avy.
https://postimg.cc/7Cgt0rpq/ba6d51e7
Even though it's 99 x 99 pixels (not too big) I can't get it to load the picture on my page. Can someone help convert this to something I CAN use? Thanks
