yeah i have tried like 10 times to change it with like 5 many different codes and i always got the same error, i suppose the problem is with the page.
because of that i chose the penguin
I tried to put just one on..since I am new and I get I am not allow access , see administrator... Can someone explain?
A forum I installed on my website had the same avatar problems. There may have been some problems during the instalation and setup of the forum. I fixed the problem just by changing a few settings for member groups and the avatars themselves. But the forum I had was phpBB, not MyBB. So I am not sure if it would be the same deal.

If you tried to upload, yetti, you would have got this message.
Uploading Avatars is locked, the administrators have their reasons. You have to use the URL slot to link to an image stored elsewhere - such as photobucket or imageshack.
URL linking seems to be misbehaving though.
So what do I do.?
That's what we are trying to figure out.
Gareth:
@ Ant == Amy .. at least, the letters are close on the keyboard..
@ update MyBB: add an Edit button at this opportunity?
@ change avatar: thanks again for doing this manually.
Regarding the avatar thing this is probably a simple issue and if anyone knowledgable of PHP wants to throw together a function to check a URL is valid that works then paste it here i'll put it in.
We will not be updating MyBB because there's too many local mods. However, the avatar thing is trivial. The edit button is not a bug, it is disabled to prevent the old trick of people editing their posts and causing a lot of drama.
Messages get quoted and stored in the archives, so even if they did change their message the original message can be read. And plus, you will always have drama in internet forums, no matter what.
As for the avatars, I hope it will get fixed sometime. I am learning some things about PHP server scripting now, but so far I have no knowledge of how to validating things like urls.
I tried to upload an avatar image from my computer and I got the following message:

OMG HOW'D THAT HAPPEN?!
I've already done that, and it wasn't changed. In the end, I just picked a new one for the gallery; not perfect, but I was getting sick of the old one.
This is happening to me, too...
upload the pic to your Photobucket or whatever account, and then PM Gareth with a direct link and ask him to change it.
That's exactly what I did. And nada.
I am new, wanted to ubload an avatar, but thére is a messsage, that I have no permission?
I don't think it's possible to get an avatar here anymore. I've never been able to get one. Sorry.
I want this image to replace my pink unicorn : http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/9922/kittyzz3.gif But no matter what's it on, photobucket or imageshack, it won't work.
