If your picture wont upload in forums it is either because

1) it is too big (the limit is 2MB, but we kindly ask you to try and keep all your images uploaded to the server, including your photo albums, under 1MB).

2) or - most likely - it is too wide. Please keep images uploaded to forum under 2000px, otherwise they might not upload.

Actually, I cannot figure out the strict limit, some pictures upload at 2100px, some wont upload at 2000px, but just try to keep a reasonable width and they will go through, there is really no need to upload a huge pic 2000px wide!

I have resized my pic several times using irfanview as well as an online pic resizer and it still will not let me upload. Does anyone have any advice?

I went from Chrome to IE and I am using win7 64. I have never had this problem before

what size did you resize it to?? it must meet the specs listed above. Does it?

Please list the size in pixels, and the size of the data file ( usually in Kb or Mb)

please resize it to 1500 x 1500 pixels. Not more. The widest side of the picture should be not more than 1500 pixels. The problem here is because of the crop feature, not just upload itself. The program is trying to crop a very wide or long image and it fails, it cannot process an image when it is so big. Your best bet is to resize it to 800 x 800 pixels.

I have resized it down to 1500, 1000, 950, 800 etc and no matter what it will not complete the upload.

And I delete the older, bigger files so there is no chance i am accidentally uploading the old, larger sized crops

when i go to the dashboard, it says that i have uploaded a new avatar, but my pic is the little white box with the red x. i am using IE

maeZ Mar 14 '15

800 x 1273 (it is a portrait shaped photo) 199 kb. I tried twice to drag it to the box, but nothing happens. I then went the long way and browsed for my newest version and I get a frame where the pic should go that shows a reload image (the two arrows in a circle), but nothing happens there either.

that was a photo in the photo album, that's why it uploaded without problems, because it is just an upload. But when it comes to avatar, the system is trying to crop an image and there is some kind of problem there. But now, that you have a picture, you can try making avatar out of this picture, it will now give you an option "or choose from your library". See if that works.
