What is the exact error message? Uploading an avatar pic is just like an Album pic except it doesn't resize (shrink) automatically, you need to first ensure it's a small picture.

You might have to resize it (make it smaller). I can tell you how to do this if you aren't sure - let me know.

This site is a little finicky with pictures. If you try to upload a picture that's too big, it doesn't give you an error message - it just doesn't work (in my experience).

It should say something like:

Upload of picture failed

if the software has a problem with what you're trying to upload.



Alternatively, getting a Database Error is a different problem and isn't pertinent only to Albums but to all of FTE forums as a whole.

It probably gave me an error message but I just didn't see it.

Speaking of Avatars, yours is awesome ctubutis. I have to restrain from laughing out loud every time I see it.
