Hello, I am new to the site and I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if this is a browser limitation. Linking images to posts seem to work fine, but this is not an option for avatar icons

I am getting strange JSON errors whenever I attempt to upload or paste images either in posts or at profile settings “Browse…”

I am not too familiar debugging/logging browsers, but here’s some logs I found from both Firefox and Chromium

OS: Arch Linux 6.4.7 Browsers: Mozilla Firefox 116.0, Chromium 115.0.5790.110-1

Error attempting to upload avatar icon: Firefox

    Picture uploads are currently disabled since there was a recent attack of some A-holes uploading tons of illegal content. It is not a technical issue, and it is not permanent, but we will still have to wait a bit before the admins can safely enable picture uploads again.

    You can still link pictures hosted on other sites, but not directly upload anything to lemmy.world ATM (banners, avatars etc.)

      Gotcha, so I am unable to change profile picture for the time being. If uploading is blocked for long period, I hope they at least allow linking avatar pictures
