Transferring an off topic conversation here for documentation. This is the message that initiated this OT:

oooh, my buddy the scrabble tile!
(yes I meant you in the Tech thread when I called you 5talents)
I tried to change my avatar and it said I didn’t have right to do that.

I tried to change my avatar and it said I didn’t have right to do that.resize it smaller @my4mainecoons and it should work then.

I tried to change my avatar and it said I didn’t have right to do that.LOL, I wasn’t sure you saw that since I posted so close to them pulling the plug. I’m so glad you joined us!
Not sure why you’re not able to change your avatar. Do you know how to post a pic here yet? If you edit your post (clicking the three vertical dots, then edit, then the black cloud upload icon), and upload your picture, I’ll try to see if I can change your avatar for you.

Your pic posted!
Thanks for your patience while we spool up to take the influx of displaced FatWalleters.

I have very slow internet* at home. Maybe that was the problem? Site was verrry slow even to change forums. I kept clicking the button and didn’t get option to select a file on my desktop. Then when I clicked the black button it said I didn’t have permission. *Slow internet < 27 mpbs. Slower than my 54 mpbs router.
Well the good news is that it’s not just you… the bad news is it’s not just you. Both @FrugalFreak and I tried to change your picture several different ways and kept getting the same error message. “Error: You do not have enough privileges for this action.”
The picture you posted is nearly 500kb, which is much larger than the 256kb avatar limit, but even reducing the size to less than that did not work. Let’s tag @dangeRuss since this is definitely a malfunction.

I did it! I’m at work – faster speed.

Excellent. I’m glad the glitch was resolved.

@fivetalents did you say 500MB?

I meant KB, sorry.
Lol, 500k shouldn’t be a problem. Glad it finally worked.

@my4mainecoons 27mbps is actually pretty good. How slow is slow? My phone tops out somewhere around 5mbps and the site loads fine.
-
3 mbps? that’s what it said the last time I did a speed check

Speed probably wasn’t an issue since @FrugalFreak and I replicated the error on Mac, PC and android mobile with fast upload speeds.

When I was trying at home I couldn’t change forums either. Had header and blank white page. I was pretty far from my router. Probably would have worked if I’d switched to my neighbor’s router.

@my4mainecoons @FrugalFreak @CtCarl @dangeRuss @mikk1 This is to alert you that this splinter topic was moved into it’s own support thread in case anyone else has the same issue and needs to continue the conversation.
