Issues Changing my Profile Picture

[minecraftnetherforums]

Hello! I got accepted to the Sploder Forums today so I am new here. I repeatedly tried to upload an avatar, but it failed every time and displayed the following message:

The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.

Is there something I am doing wrong or something I can do about it? Thanks in advance!

Listen buddy. Listen pal. Listen up dweeb. Just upload the image to imgur and then copy the URL and add .png to the end of it and paste that in the field for uploading from a URL!!

Did it work?

It said that it successfully changed my avatar but it still shows nothing. Do I need to give it some time to update?

Hmm, send me the link you're using!

I also just realized that I didn't actually post it but just copied the link and added .png extension. I will try and upload it again.
