This happens when I go to the Edit Avatar page: I check the Use Custom Avatar option and then I go to Option 1 - Enter the URL to the Image on Another Website. After clicking the Save changes button I get an error message that reads "Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file".
Is the feature temporarily unavailable or is it permanent? I have tested with gif files.
Hmmm... so.... will anyone answer?
It might be due to a problem with permissions or your tmp folder.
Why don't you save the image on your computer, and then upload it from there.
I tried that too, but it wouldn't work either. Do you know of a way to view the tmp folder settings and/or permissions?Quote:

Are you sure the file isn't too big?
I've tried that and it works with static images. When I saw Pensive's animated avatar I wanted to try a small animated gif myself, and that's what I can't upload/link.Quote:
