Reduce the size of your Avatar to 200x200 or less pixels.  It should be no problem after that.

Try making it square.  BTW, are you trying to load from a computer or a smart phone/device?

I am try to load it from my Mac via the foru  website. I have tried the square pic versions as well, again all with no. Perhaps I might just give up and one day the avatar fairy will make it work.

Thank you for your help.

Once an appropriate avatar has been chosen, it can take a week or more to appear on the forum.
It will often be visible on your home page, but not in new posts, for a while...

Aloha embay,

     As RedHot says, it may appear on the Personal Homepage first so be sure to check that page first.  Timing could also be a problem.  Try doing it at different times during the day and night.  Remember that China is in a very different time zone and maintenance has to be done so network hold-ups can occur at almost any time.  Just try another time.

     Hope this helps!

Aloha and Drone On!

I had a fair bit of strife too, maybe the pictures I tried were too large but the registration process wouldn't let me continue without choosing one and I couldn't see the default option so eventually I just grabbed a big orange rock out of the windows 7 standard pics and it worked. I don't even know where or what my avatar is.

Finicky system, that works great, when it wants to. Ha

Perhaps our chosen avatars need to get DJI approval first? ;-)

Aloha RedHot,

     Yes!  That is right.  DJI did have to approve an Avatar but that has been removed from the Rules and Regulations.  So now they may still do it but it is not encoded in the Rules and Regulations.  I remember it used to be though.

I used the size of your avatar RedHotPoker and made mine exactly the same size. It still would not load up. It is an avatar I use on all of the sites. I just get the I/O error please try again message. Tried it in all formats, except it will not take BMP. I doubt it will get rejected becasue it is quite mundane. I evemn tried a different avatar, still no luck. Ho Hum.
Thank you all for your thoughts, I will just keep trying. perhaps it is just another way of encouraging site visits.

You might have to use a computer, as a mobile device seems to have an avatar restriction here.
Once your avatar loads, it might take a week or more before it shows up in new posts.
It will usually be visible on your homepage, before being utilized in forum posts.

Keep trying, it will stick eventually....

I cannot even get it to upload, just keep getting IO error message and then nothing.

Are you using a desktop computer?
Mobile devices seem to have a restriction. Not sure why you are having problems.

Hopefully, the mods can have a look at this for you. I don't have a suggestion.
I know once you do get it to stick, it still can take a week or more for it to show up in regular posts.

I agree the avatar system is clunky. Most apps will know and fix avatars that are too big. Too bad but pick your battles. Fix go 3.1.2!

I am using an iMac to try and do the upload. Impossible on my iPad. I suppose I could try my other Mac just in case, but that's connected to the same system.

I will let you know if I ever get anywhere, but some Moserator input would be helpful.

I solved it by using a different computer. Still an iMac , and still on the same network as the other, but it worked. You might also try using  other browsers as well. Firefox ws good for me. Make sure that your avatar  is png or gif. Just one other possibility. It might be bcuase you are a beginner. Not sure if DJI block you until you have been in for a while. I always got I/O error when trying to load it.

For more info. Visit your Home Page, tap Reminders in the right column and then System Reminds at top.

Then tap the most recent entry, for a full rundown of available forum options in your present and current classification category.


Yes seniority has its benefits. I'm striving towards Flight Instructor status... ;-)

I'm using an iMac and could not get Safari to upload an avatar. So I tried Chrome and it worked fairly well - not perfectly. To update an avatar I had to log out and back in again. That worked for me.
