DreamEngine Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 A very strange comment from a moderator. I have invested my hard earned money in the product and have no reason to not continue to ask questions about the product and expect to get civil answers to those questions. It does not say that you have to have signed up for any particular length of time to change your avatar and it looks like a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Patrick Connor Posted September 12, 2022 Staff Share Posted September 12, 2022 @DreamEngine Newly joined members cannot edit their profile picture, sorry. That comes after 4 days and more than 3 posts, on your next post. To explain, you start in a forum group with restricted abilities to stop spammers. The ability to edit your profile picture (and other advantages) will come after 4 days of forum membership, automatically as you make a post, but only if that post is your 4th post (or above). So anyone who has made more than 3 posts, where one of those posts is made after the 4th day, gains the ability to edit their profile picture edit posts longer and other forum features.

XeataOne Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 But WHY? I just wasted 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get my profile photo setup. There was no notice that it was "impossible for a new user" so I just kept searching.... Glad I found this forum where everyone is asking for a link to get it done.

Try and be user friendly It's a part of the spam-prevention measures that Serif have decided to use for the forum, as I understand it. You have been here long enough, and made enough posts, that you should be able to change yours if you want to. Click on your name in the upper-right corner of the page, then click on Profile in the dropdown, and you should be able to add a profile photo if you want one. Edit: Or click on the D icon in your post, which should take you to your profile directly.
