Help - updating profile
« on: September 07, 2008, 06:54:56 AM »
Hi... I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question.

In trying to change my avatar, I'm getting this error message:

The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.

Is this a problem with the site, or something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
Vern

I can't find it either  ???  all I can suggest is make it smaller a little at a time (saving the original at normal size) and see if it fits.

That error means that WC's ability to host your avatar has been turned off.  Upload your avatar somewhere else for the time being.
