Your picture is too large. To use an image for your profile picture, it must be 85 pixels, or smaller, in height and width. Once you shrink your image, you will be able to upload it.

ohh.... well thers your problem LOL ok thanks!

I do not understand what you mean. What is the size of the picture? I have been putting photos in the forums that are 2.50 MB and they go well. But I am trying to upload a profile photo and can't seem to get it to work. Now looking at the photos on profile pages, they surly must be bigger than 21 KB or it would be nothing but small unrecognizable squares. I reduce a photo of mine to 85 pixels each way and there was no way it was still a photo like the ones on others profile. I am no computer genius so I too need some help here on the size and the procedure to do it.

The same with placing photos in "My Models" or "My Gallery" Please tell me the procedure to do this. Step by step works real good for us computer illerate ones out here. and what is the size limit there. I notice I can click on others pictures in their gallery or model photos and it is shown on my computer pretty good size with great detail. these surely are not 21 KB photos.

Please pretend that some of us out here just don't know anything. Giving us help with that in mind works real good.

I am looking at your profile and you have a picture posted. Do you mean you are trying to upload an avatar such as the one below my name on the left in this message?

What happens when you try to post your pictures? Do you get an error? If so, what does it say?

The Gallery and My Models photos are pretty self explanatory. Click Add Photo. State a title for the photo. Give the photo a description. Click Browse to locate the photo on your computer. Select the photo on your computer and click Open. Now click the Add Photo button and wait for your photo to upload and be displayed.

Yea, after hours of fiddling with it, just after I wrote this message I finally was able to get it to accept my photos for profile and my models. When trying to add the photo to my profile it took forever and didn't do it the first 4 or 5 times. Then I read this forum and saw where you said the other peson was trying to use too big a photo. I used my Photo House and reduced a photo to 85 x 85 pixels. After seeing what it looked like, I knew I still wasn't getting it right and that is when I responded to this forum.

I noticed you didn't answer my question about the size of the photos. Wonder why? The picture it finally uploaded for the profile was 2.50 MB. That is one whole lot bigger than a photo of 85 X 85 pixels (21 KB) if I understand anything about picture sizing.

What is an avatar? I thought the picture under the name was the person's profile picture. That sounds like a good thing.

As for the "My Models" page, when you click on the add photo it goes to the add equipment page. Now it doesn say "add equipment used in the model you are trying to upload. It wants you to pick a manufacturer or find where it says none of this applies. I couldn't find that. But I finally muddled through it, trying different thing until I finally got it figured out.

So as you can see, it is like I was saying. Your instructions and the procedure sounds real simple for one who does it all the time. but not really worth a hill of beans to some out there who doesn't.

I am not meaning to be sarcastic here at all. I am just very dissapointed and was very frustrated. I also did a trouble ticket. they didn't answer anything. They just told me to go away and ask someone else.

Tell me the thing about picture size that I am not understanding again.

An avatar is l ike a buddy Icon if you have an AOL or AIM screen name it usually has it in the top right. When ever I try to put a profile pic i click upload and it doesn't do anything so i clicked it one time and left it for 10min and i did nothing it didn't even say uploading photo please wait or anything like that. Can i put one on from EDIT photos?

madmaxx22,
How large is the photo you are trying to post to your profile and how fast is your internet connection? If you are on dialup and are trying to upload a 1-2 mb file, it will take a while. 10 minutes may not be long enough, especially if there is a network problem between your ISP and our servers.
