ATS Avatar upload and set-up guide (with step-by-step pictures), page 3

I posted that less than 3 hours ago, but I'm already denied editing permission with the reason that I exceeded the 4 hour time limit.

edit1:



In the Preview, that shows as an 'external' link even though it's hosted on media.abovetopsecret.com...

By the way, it appears the edit limit has been lowered to 2-hours and whoever made that change didn't bother to update the resulting error message in the board software.

Also, I apologize for assuming people would infer the point of my original post without my stating it explicitly... i.e. that this thread should be closed and a new one started with current (correct) instructions for uploading your photos; And that the Upload / Change Photos link should be removed from the menus if the Personal Upload link has to be used instead.

When I log into the media section & click on "upload / change photos", I'm taken back to the media section logon screen. I can log in but any attempt to click on the "upload / change photos" loops back to the login screen.

We all have the same problem. What you need to do is explained below by ATS Moderator Kinglizard.

I was trying to upload a new avatar a couple days ago and I ran into the same problem.

I found the only way I could upload a photo is by logging-in to the media site with your ats name and password ...then you are taken to the page in the image below:

If you click on "Personal Upload" (highlighted in yellow) you will be taken to the upload dialog. When your upload is complete you will be automatically taken to the particular upload folder where you can click on the image and copy the appropriate file name or url.

I've tried this and when the picture is uploaded I click options and then set as avatar but it still does not show. Any advice?

For the life of me I can't set my discussion forum avatar. I have managed to set it for the media center but when I follow the tutorial for the discussion forum avatar I get a slightly different display configuration than appears on this thread and the avatar doesn't set.

You need to resize it before uploading it to ATS. Open the file with a free editor (something like MS Paint) and resize it according to the avatar guidelines, save the changes to the file and upload to ATS.

Edit: Seeing that I've got a moment to spare:
