Profile Confusion
Posted by Leverettrailfan on Sunday, July 11, 2021 1:06 AM

Not sure this is the right place to pop this out here, but I'm running into some issues with my profile and thought maybe I'd do well to ask for help/advice.

I decided to attempt to change my old avatar, but my profile just isn't having any of it. It'll "upload" it, after I 'browse' and select an image, but as soon as I click the "upload and use image" button, it gives me a message that says "Sorry, there was a problem with your last request!"
Making the image smaller didn't seem to help (500x500 pixels) so I'm not really sure what else to try.
My other issue is that every time I edit my profile, it changes my community settings to set my gender marker as "Male" instead of "Not Set". Not sure where it's getting that from, but it's very annoying/frustrating to go back and reset it every time.
Sorry again if I'm posting in the wrong place.

Just as good a place as any!

As I understand it from the same type of discussion on the "Trains" Forum concerning profiles the Kalmbach IT system is kind of whacked right now and isn't likely to be straightened out until the autumn sometime. 

So my advice to you all is if your profile and anything about it is unbroken at this time DON'T try to fix it.  You might make a mess of it.

Imagine how the Kalmbach employees must feel, they have to live with the system, we don't!
