Can't change profile picture

[marble_soda]

Can't change my profile picture. When I try to edit my profile there is no option to change my profile picture, when using the "Complete My Profile" option, the step to upload a profile .

New member actions are limited to prevent bad actors from misbehaving (like posting a nude avatar or including SPAM in sig). The threshold is 20 points (promotion from 'Watcher' to 'Citizen'). One post = 1 pt, following a forum or another user = 1 pt, etc. So new member actions and contributions get you to the threshold quickly.

Since you are asking about this, I just bumped you to the 'Citizen' member group manually, as it seems unlikely that a bad actor would be posting about it (and in the proper forum).

I stumbled on this post having the same problem, I posted a reply on a forum and I followed one, I got no points and I'm still a watcher, am I missing something?

You have three points now. One for logging in and one each for two reply posts you made. All interactions yield points, even selecting a best answer in a Q&A forum.

Actually, you have 4 when including the forum you followed.

You advance to Citizen at 20 points.

I see. I was mistakenly thinking I started with 18 points, that is why I was wondering. Where exactly can I check my points? I tried on my profile but I could only catch 1/12 Watcher.

That info is not exposed on the forums. Just continue on as normal, and you will trigger the advancement when you hit the threshold.
