Alternative Profile Image Support

[Dark Cloud]

My Current Problem

---

On my current device I cannot upload files to upload an avatar and the Guild doesn't support url uploads so I have no ability to gain an avatar. Two months ago I thought to replace my old avatar and removed it before discovering I needed to load an image file.

My Two Requests

---

First I was wondering if the website could support the use of image links for users trying to upload an avatar, I'm not demanding this I just want to know if it's possible or if not possible why it wasn't implemented before. It may seem trivial to essentially everyone but I can't upload files, I won't be able to for a long time.

Secondly if the website can't or won't support url linking then I'd like a moderator to help me upload an avatar because it's been bugging me, I was frustrated when I mistakenly removed my old profile and am still annoyed that I don't have one.

I also really need an avatar because I haven't updated my bio in three years and I apparently need an avatar in order to change my profiles bio section.

---

Anyways I'd appreciate any kind of assistance from you mods and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks and have a nice day.

@LegendBegins and/or @Mahz (This kind of problem/suggestion seems applicable to both of you)

@Dark Cloud It'd likely be sometime before anything new gets implemented since Legend is waiting on Mahz to see about rolling out the updates/changes he's been making per user request as Mahz is the only one with backend access. Your best bet is probably to see if a mod can help you upload a picture, since I assume the mods have access to all accounts as seen with @LegendEnds?

@Dark Cloud

Send me the image you're after and I'll do that for you mate :)

@Stormflyx Will do, thank you very much.

[LegendBegins]

Kuro is right. I'd love to start updating and adding features, but I don't have access to RPG's back end and have to wait for Mahz to approve everything.

Just to chime in a bit on this, but URl avatars sometimes have some funky business with broken links and whatnot. That's why I assume that the site was coded with the age old method of just uploading an image.

If you don't have a photo editor program as well you can use a few online resources for image cropping and resizing. I use resizeimage.net and found that it's a real simple and basic alternative that isn't too difficult to use, even on mobile.

Asking a mod is also a great option as well and thanks @Stormflyx for helping. I've personally played around with photoshop for years and while I don't necessarily have it on my computer anymore, simple Avatar stuff is a breeze for me if you need a hand.

@NuttsnBolts I'm glad my question has generated plenty of helpful advice, and I also appreciate @Stormflyx for helping me.
