magbrin Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 It may be something to do with the size of your pic? I haven't managed to do mine yet, but I thought that was the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J9withdogs Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Believe it or not, size does matter! Check that your pictures are less than 100kb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's a first then !! Have tried uploading pics that were taken from my mobile (2 meg camera) and still no luck !! I have even tried uploading from a different browser ( mozzilla firefox ) and still no joy. Must be something to do with the cider down here I think !!

J9withdogs Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Try right clicking the photo or viewing it in something like Picasa. This should tell you how many kb the photo is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Elswood Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 That could well be the prob then Janine. My mobile pic is 227kb I can't believe the pic has to be that small!! (100kb ) How on earth do you downsize it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B. Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Right-try this!! Save a copy of your piccy on desk top. Open it with Microsoft Picture Manager. When open click on 'Picture' on top left. scroll down to 'resize' Box will open on right. go to blank box and click arrow. resize to 'web small' Highlight websmall then click 'ok' close editor and then 'save' new size. It is now uploadable! go back to Control panel. scoll right down to bottom then 'Images' then choose either picture or profile, then 'browse' then find the saved piccy on desktop, click on that then on Images click go (It will show the route to your pic in the box. after a few seconds the image will appear in your control panel box and consequently on your profile..............Hopefully Good luck again Mike IF this fails-PM me and I'll talk you through it on the phone!!!

Mel B Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Extract from the link that Janine put on: Photo URL/Profile Image URL: These can be used in conjunction with the 'Upload Photo/Profile Image' options (see below for more information). They will display a picture beneath your username on your posts and in your profile respectively. You can use the aforementioned upload feature, or type in the address of a picture you have already placed on the internet (eg www.domainname.com/images/imagename.jpg). Please note that images will be resized to fit in the space allocated for them (a maximum of 100 pixels wide for profile images). Please keep file sizes small, and make sure that the images themselves are not offensive or unsuitable - anything deemed as such will be removed and may result in the offending user account being terminated. Bob - Your picture is more than likely way too big and that's why you can't upload it, the 'avatar' picture has to be no more than 100 pixels wide which is pretty small, whereas a picture for inclusion on a thread, ie the tick box saying 'Attach a file after posting' allows pictures up to 100 KB. As your phone camera is 2 GB that is absolutely massive and way too big for this so you'll have to use some method to resize it. What photo packages/software do you have on your pc?
