All Freelance Writing - Topic: Hello! http://allfreelancewriting.com/writing-forum/introductions/hello-3/ Simple:Press Version 5.2.6 Jennifer Mattern on Hello! http://allfreelancewriting.com/writing-forum/introductions/hello-3/#p1032 Introduce Yourself http://allfreelancewriting.com/writing-forum/introductions/hello-3/#p1032 If that still doesn't work, you can email me your photo -- jenn@allfreelancewriting.com -- and I'll upload it for you on the admin side. Then at least we'll know if it's a bug on the user end or a problem with our settings not pulling the avatar options in the proper order. 

I could swear someone else here had that issue in the past and that worked, and that it was fixed after an upgrade. I can't recall if there was another upgrade after that time, but it's likely. I have another to run. I was going to wait until January when I'm back from break, but if I finish work early enough today, I'll try to squeeze it in. Hopefully that will address the issue on a wider scale.

It still pulls from Gravatar first, but uploaded avatars come up second. I don't see one attached to your account on the admin side. Try to upload it again (50x50 px) and let me know if you get any different results after the change. If not, I'll check again in the morning and see if some other setting might be causing issues. Other than that, I'll be running some upgrades to the forum when I come back from the holiday break in early January (after some bugs are addressed in the new version). So if it's a bug w/ the current version, hopefully that will sort it out.

I'm so glad to hear you've already landed a gig through your listing here. Smile

Where did you upload your picture? In the forum profile screen? If so I can check and see if it's showing on the admin side. Otherwise I think the system is set to pull gravatars automatically -- you just associate your photo with the email address you registered with here at http://www.gravatar.com.

I found out about All Freelancing through a topic conversation on Linked In. Lori Widmer embedded a link or something to the discussion that I was following. Thanks, Lori! :)

Anyhow, I've been a freelancer for the past 12 years or so. I just started branching out into more client-based writing, and I've already had a potential client contact me from my listing on this site. Yay! :)

I do have a question: I uploaded my picture last week and it's still not on my profile. What should I do? Thank you!

 

PS-I love talking shop and helping newbies start their freelancing careers.
