Resolved: Unable to change avatar picture

836 381 September 25, 2022 at 07:46 PM
Hello,
I am unable to upload a new avatar picture. Whenever I choose the file I want to upload and then click the "upload" button, I get redirected to a page saying I do not have permissions.
Any help? I should not have the new user block, because I've changed my avatar picture in the past.

Also, many user's avatars (including my own) don't appear when using the mobile app on android. Not sure why. This behavior started a few months ago.

Hi -
I checked and don't see anything obvious that would be stopping you from changing your avatar. Have you tried a smaller image, just in case it's giving you the wrong error?

If that still doesn't work, please try switching to classic and seeing if the system allows you to change your avatar.

To change to classic:
Scroll down on this page
Click Classic on the right hand side

To return to redesign:

Click Redesign on the left hand side
