yes, I'm a noob.
When I try to choose an avatar, the page refreshes and I get a message that says, "In order to accept POST request originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist."
What does that mean???
any help is appreciated! TIA!

I don't know what that means, but maybe try saving it to your computer and doing it that way?

Thanks for your suggestion, but I just tried using a photo from my comp and I'm still getting the same message. :confused:

I believe you need to have 50 posts or be a member for a month before you can upload an avatar.

Thank you so much! I've been searching the forums for some explanation of the "levels" of membership. Still can't find them, but I appreciate your help with the avatar question!
I'll rep you (but I don't know if I can yet!). :)

You can rep people... they see your comments, but they don't count. Once you hit 50 posts, your reps will count.

Are you accessing SD from work?

I learned post count has nothing to do with your avatar... Or maybe it's the whole two months or 50 posts thing that accidently got put in the rep faq... but I just saw a person with 2 posts have an avatar, she was registered in September though.

OP, try contacting redsolar. He is a very tech saavy Mod, and I'm sure he can help you. I've never heard of that error before.

Sounds like you are trying to use a image that is on a different site. Try downlaoding your image to your computer first.

Someone suggested that, and s/he still got the error.

thanks all for your suggestions. Still not working.
I've tried using the SD avatars, as well as an image on my comp. Am accessing from home, not work.
Will try to contact redsolar for more help.

I say wait until you have 50 posts before you bother him... Maybe it is the whole 50 posts/2 months thing.

I have faith that soon you'll have an avy. :)
