2.)Click the profile tab > "Update" button next to your user status > edit status, that is.

I looked and searched but couldn't find any information on this. I would like to add an avatar but when I try it says member_profile_disabled.

Is there a minimum number of posts before it's active, or is this feature permanently disabled?

Click on your "user name" at the top right.

 

There is a drop down list, then click on "my profile"

 

Then hover over where the avatar would be to the left of your user name.  You will see a "change" button.  Click that.

That is what I did, but every time I try to upload an image I get the message "member_profile_disabled", It won't let me upload, so I tried the gravitar and that worked.

Nope, nothing works, I can't upload and gravitar doesn't work.

When I try to add the avatar from gravics, I get this error:

Sorry, you don't have permission for that!

and when I try to import an avatar from a URL I put the address in and click "import" then I get this message: member_profile_disabled

Try it now.

I didn't even have to try. I don't know what you did, but my avatar just appeared.

Thank you.
