ATS upload feature

Can anyone tell me when this will come online, as I have been wanting to change my avatar. Mark Knopfler's a great guitarist and everything but the charisma of that pic just wore off, as enough time had passed.

ATS upload feature has been down for a good month or two now. Anyone???

Hey websurfer, youi don't need this feature to change your avatar. You could use imageshack.us... or photobucket.com... for hosting purposes.

Imageshack works good for me, I will recomend that one.

Gaa. More things to learn and places to go. Could ATS just link us over to these image hosts when we click on upload? If bandwidth is the problem with pics in posts, could we just limit uploads to one or two pics for avatars? Why is upload broken, anyway? By the way, thanks- we do get all this for free

ok, could someone please explain to me how to make those image hosts work? it is all so confusing to me.

There should be an FAQs on that site that should explain to you how to access you area to upload images. Then you "browse" your system for the image you want, then upload it to the area, grab the url and put it under the "avatar" section on your profile

I use Photobucket, and what you do is, you register for an account, then in your account, you can upload pictures from your hard drive or you can put in the URL (website address) of a picture online you want to use. The pictures will go into your Photobucket account, then you will be given a URL for each picture in your account which you can then use as an avatar on this site by inputting it in your profile.

Nintendospy thank you so much for putting it in English for me.

Any information as to why the uploads in the member center are disabled? I was searching for an answer but only found that it was simply off?

The Upload feature may come back a little late, SO is still working out the bugs for it to be compatible for the new server.
