I know that some member,s including myself, have been receiving error messages on our "Edit Profile" pages. I clicked "Inspect Element" while I was on my "Edit Profile" page, and I found this:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" id="edituser" class="user-forms" action="http://www.councilofelrond.com/edit-profile/">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="134217728" /><!-- set the MAX_FILE_SIZE to the server's current max upload size in bytes --> <script>

function confirmDelete(nonceField, currentUser, customFieldID, customFieldName, returnTo, ajaxurl, what) {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this "+what+"?") {
jQuery.post( ajaxurl , { action:"hook_wppb_delete", currentUser:currentUser, customFieldID:customFieldID, customFieldName:customFieldName, what:what, _ajax_nonce:nonceField}, function(response) {
if(response=="done"{
window.location=returnTo;


I underlined the part that sounded the most helpful. Does this lead anyone to any conclusions about how to fix this? It has been a year for me, and almost that long for a few others.

Hey maxie is your avatar meant to be blank?
It looks like this:

That might be what this thread is about but I am not familiar with the "avatar problem" so I'm not sure

Nice try Maxie but not much help unfortunately. There is also a maximum avatar upload size as well, much smaller than that. We don't even know if that's the problem anyway because as the WP error says, it can't convert the error message to a string. I'm thinking an error occurs which isn't caught by the profile plugin so there's no error message to see. Hard to track it down. Sorry. It's fun though isn't it? Looking at how pages work.

PSK,I lost the ability to edit any of my profile settings when I accidentally uploaded an avatar that was too big. It is concerning, because since that happened, I would be unable to change my password or recover my account if anything happened to it. It also doesn't allow me to upload an avatar, so i have that blank one you see.

It was worth a shot. I know that there was a member looking into it, Sundown his name was, but I do not think he found anything either.

I have posted something in the Mods Forum, maxie, to see if there is a possible way around your problem. Hopefully, somebody will come up with a solution.

Maxie, could you just rejoin as a new member? I think you would have to use a different email address and have a new name and you would lose your post count.

Is it possible for the Admin to delete Maxie's account including all her details then have her recreate her account using the same email address?

The answer to both questions is yes, by notifying gwendeth, she can rejoin the site and have her old account locked (unfortunately, it can't be deleted).

However, as Lindarielwen has pointed out, her post count would go back to zero and she would have to start all over again. I'm not absolutely sure but I also believe she would have to alter her site name in some way.

The choice is yours, Maxie.

Is there a possibility, however slim, that my current account could be fixed?

Maxie, my apologies - my computer died before the holidays and I just now got my new one built and my software installed. I have not forgotten your plight! If you can send me the ENTIRE code from that "Inspect Element" while on your "Edit Profile" page, then I can tell you if something can be done to fix your current account. I'm working on a test using my account to be sure though.

Maxie; I apologize on many levels;
First, life has been dogging me lately and I haven't had the spare time to come here.
Second, CoE includes a security feature (implemented by Word Press which was used to create this site) called a Nonce. Basically, the site creates a Nonce value to perform actions for an individual logged into the site. This is suppose to prevent people from performing actions on your behalf (which is what I was trying to do - delete your avatar for you) However, based on the code you sent me that value is not listed in the html and unfortunately I don't have the extra time to study how Word Press is generating that code to try and guess at what the value might be. So, until Rivka gives someone access to the site; you won't be able to change your profile.

First: hooray for you, Maxie!

But currently, I still have to get used to the thing, the chess pawn is so firmly engraved in my memory! Image

And a spontaneous reaction (I think before I realized that it's your new avatar) was "g'wan, 'nother Thranduil fan *sigh*" Image

Ahhh .., at least I believe it's Thranduil; no question, I paid more attention to Tauriel than to him! Image Image

Haha, Gando, thank you! I am still getting used to my own avi myself. I was scrolling through posts the other day, saw my avi, and thought, "Whos that?"

Hey all, I've been trying to upload an avatar/icon. None of them are bigger than 80pixels tall/wide and they're all pretty small file sizes, nothing over 10kb. I keep getting this error message.

Can anyone help me make sense of this gibberish?

Hi Elweth

Since we moved to the new server the 'Upload Avatar' feature in the Edit Your Profile has not worked. In order to add an avatar to your profile you need a URL code which you then place in the 'Avatar URL' section which is located immediately above the Upload Avatar section.

Personally, I use Photobucket as my picture storage site but there are others and most offer free storage up to a fairly adequate amount.
