BGFE means JavaScript needs to be enabled, not Java. Two different things, but web browsers often have both! Try uploading an image [[Special:Upload|normally]], to make sure that works. The [[Special:UploadAvatar|Avatar Uploader]] works in exactly the same way, so shouldn't be any different. Also, when you have uploaded the avatar, press Ctrl+F5 (also try Shift+F5) to force a refresh of the page, to double-check whether it has been uploaded or not.

:I just realised that with images, it actually ''does'' load a new page, so it is nothing like my problem (so I don't know if JavaScript matters). Also, Gboyers, I have had him try to upload an image normally (read the full discussion). I have also been checking the upload log to see if his uploads have worked.

Moves

Just to inform you that I moved (renamed) the two pages you created. I moved Unknown made man (VC) to Unknown Made Man (VC), and I moved Unknown made man (LCS) to Unknown Made Man (LCS). If it isn't obvious the reason was for capitalization. We try and keep all (or at least most) pages on the wiki capitalized. If you have any questions about this, or about anything, or need help with anything, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thank You? Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 04:33, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Uploading Avatar

Try to upload the image to the wiki using Special:Upload. If it doesn't work, tell me so that we can try to work out the reason that you can't upload. If it does work, give me a link so I can delete it, and then we will try to work out why you can't upload an avatar. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 06:19, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Huh, I don't understand. Upload it to the wiki. If that works, I will delete it and we know the problem is with uploading an avatar. If it doesn't work we know that the problem is uploading ANYTHING. Also, try using a DIFFERENT image, just to see if it works. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 08:46, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
Firstly, use a colon (:) instead of an asterisks (*) to indent posts. For the second indent use two (::) etc. Also, you can simply type ~~~~ to create your name and the date/time like at the end of my posts.
As for the avatar. Did you try what I said? Click This Link and try to upload an image to the wiki. In the description type "test, has already been arranged with admin to be deleted soon". If it works give me a link so I can delete it. If not, we will try to work out why. Talk soon! Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 11:13, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
On the fifth reply, don't indent, and then start again. As for the uploading, I was stupid enough that I was going to say to upload a screenshot of the problem. Instead, try again, and when the error screen comes up, type out what it says and show me. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 03:38, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

That helps alot! I have had the same problem where I couldn't accept friends or write on user boards. My problem (and possibly yours) was that somehow Java got disabled. In Internet Explorer 7, go to tools > Internet Options, click the Security tab, click Custom Level, scroll down to Scripting and enable it. If you have another browser, you will have to work it out, or research it yourself. If you do that and Java is already enabled, then just leave me a message.

Contact Wikia technical staff. They can help with anything like this, as no one else is having the problem. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 04:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
