I’m trying to change my profile picture on http://community.p2pu.org/ (our Discourse is up to date). When I select a square .jpg from my local drive, I see the upload bar go to 100%, but then it disappears and my icon remains the system-assigned profile picture. I just updated my profile picture h…

Yep, I just tried it, and something’s screwed up. The setting is on “Custom” but it falls back to letter avatar. Is this a Docker install? What are you using for uploaded file storage?

Yes, we are using s3 for file uploads EDIT: it also doesn’t work for me if I try and upload a custom profile picture. Any pointers regarding where I should go look for the error? What log files will contain the error is something with the S3 upload goes wrong?

Sam, It appears that discourse.mcneel.com is not using S3-backed storage, but we have users complaining about not being able to upload profile images. What do you recommend?

Yup, it’s a Docker install.

@dirkcuys - are we using s3 for file storage?

Assuming the answer is yes, how might I proceed? Appreciate your help.
