I’m having a weird problem. Only one of my users can successfully upload a avatar. I have an Administrator account that can, but the Key Master account can’t upload any image. The avatar space is still blank.
Also, I’m having difficulty identifying where the avatars are saved.
Thanks for the link. I’m definitely going to be visiting your blog in the future. Best.
To anyone who is having issues with avatars. Check out the ‘Bavatars’ plugin. It’s much more user friendly and it ‘just works’ in the same way that many WP plugins do. Upload and hit activate. A dream.
@kevinjohngallagher I say all of this respectfully, but realize that I have a different background and come from a different place.
You “hear this from time to time” because it’s a recurring problem. Maybe not for some, and certainly not for you, but it is for many given the comments that I’ve seen go unanswered on the forums. I don’t know what ‘free’ has to do with this conversation. There are many ‘free’ software projects that are way more friendly than the existing ‘situation’ with BBPress. WordPress itself is more user friendly.
“90% of the requests people make”…? The different between ‘basic’ and ‘standard’ is semantic at this point and doesn’t move the conversation forward. It’s a status quo argument that I run into on a daily basis in my profession. I don’t accept it there, nor do I accept it here. @Chrishajer is exactly right. If’ we’re going to discuss this from percentage perspective. My point is that avatars should be in the 10% of the included feature set. I’m not asking for anything special here. Just the ability to place a tiny image next to my name when I post. It’s 2010.
I agree. It’s unbelievable actually in this day and age. I have been unable to get the plugin working yet.
