Title: Profile Picture help...
Post by: Morgul_Rat on December 20, 2010, 12:19:58 AM
I tried to add a picture to my profile but it is not showing up.  I picked one from my computer and hit UPDATE and it just disappears.  Is there a waiting period?  Am I stupid and just doing it wrong??  There is no button that says upload, just BROWSE and then UPDATE PROFILE.

I think if you use a .gif instead of a .jpeg you might have some success?

Well I have to say I have the same problem. The reason I have no profile picture is that it just doesn't show up. I have tried everything just like Morgul_rat.

Did you click the matching radio button (e.g. "I will upload my own picture")?

YEs, I picked the radio button.  I also see a BROWSE button...but usually when I upload a pic too a site, there is a button that says UPLOAD too...not here.

I am using an iMAC...Yanko, are you using MAC too????

Nope, I use a Windows. And yes, I clicked on the radio button.

i had a heap of problems when I first tried to get a picture and tried everything.

I ended up just linking to a website rather than using my own picture.

Same as chompers. All around, it was a #$&*@! to do.

I also can have no avatar uploaded from my computer.. Only linking to a website works.

Originally tlhh did let me upload one, but when I tried to change it, something glitched and now won't let me upload anything for an avatar.

I asked Kralik about it ages ago, but have had no luck fixing it.

I use windows XP and Google Chrome.

I linked to a website too. I would suggest image hosting sites.
