How to change my Avatar?

Post by LibrarianErrant »

Not sure if this is something simple that I am missing. I wanted to upload something but don't see how to do that.

Thanks!

I’ve been trying to do the same. There are probably instructions posted somewhere, but I haven’t found them yet.

you go to your profile (top right corner of the screen).
you look for Edit avatar, and click on it.
you can upload your photo there.

there was a bug for the past two weeks, which messed up any image upload.
but now it's fixed, and it should work nicely on your avatar change as well.

good luck !

I am not seeing the same screen you are seeing. I can pick from a gallary but I have no upload option.

when you click on the Gallery Avatar arrow do you have a choice like this ?

i am using my phone, and another theme, so it looks more squished together and blue.
yours is more spread out since you're on a laptop/pc. and you're using the green theme. :)

All be damned, because I could have sworn I checked that before, thanks!
