uploading photo to profile

It's a while since I did it. As it is only possible on our windows computer, which I seldom switch on, and not available on the iPad I usually use.

However, I seem to recall there was a maximum file size. That size was much smaller than all of my photos, so I had to reduce the one I used before uploading it.

As I understand it photos have to be no bigger than 500 so you may have to resize. "Tutorial for uploading photos and video" thread has various info which may be helpful depending on the hardware/software you use.  

thank your for reply, this web site never ceases to amaze me, if size is a problem why did it not tell me that rather than tell me i was possibly using the wrong format, not impressed, will skip the photo, it is not worth the hassle

Even when you re-size your picture to the size of digital pictures in their infancy and do it all correctly, you're still not guaranteed to change your profile picture 😞

It might work or it might not ...... 

It can take a long time to show up, if it doesn't appear try clearing your browser history.

Thanks everybody will retain the blank screen much less hassle

i have a profile pic but i can't change it. must say part from late availability this website sucks

Brue and Oneputt seem to manage to change their avatars ok. If others have managed I've missed them. There aren't many folks posting on threads these days 😢. That might offer us all a clue to use ability 😉  I think life's too short to attempt  a try. However I have managed to post photos in thread's thanks to a resizing app.

When I change mine I see that an "adobe flash" request appears, I agree to let this happen just the once. Then I proceed to change the photo but I have to resize in edit to 500 pixels first.

So a recap. First. Choose a photo. Resize in edit. Go into change profile pic. Accept adobe as a one off. Browse pics and choose the one you have resized. You might need to press refresh/F5 or clear your browser history. My last change to the pumpkins appeared on my laptop immediately, but on my phone it took a day.

After that, pat yourself on the back, you have climbed the CT equivalent of Snowden on a bad day.....

And even Snowdon on a better day...
