I am having trouble posting a profile pic - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

ColonelForbin · 02-17-2012, 02:44 AM

Would someone please assist me in getting a profile pic to upload?
I have resized an image all the way down to only 6 kb and it still says "Unable to Save File."
Please help!

Perhaps the file size is small enough, but there are still too many pixels (it looks like the pixel size has to be 80 x 80 or smaller). If you use a photo hosting site (like Photobucket) you can easily resize images down to that.

Another thought might be the format of the file. If you are just using a URL address of a picture, it probably won't matter, but if you are directly uploading an image, it might have to be in a format like JPEG.

Dunno.....just guessing.

Also, welcome to the forum!

I'm not so sure Shawn,
When my B-day came around recently, I tried to put up my little kid pic, (that I've had up there before), and got the same message...

...Admin??

I have still been unsuccessful in posting any signature, avatar, or profile pic.
I am certain that I am meeting the posting requirements...it is simply not working.
Is anyone else having this issue?

My profile pic is ok, but it is not on the threads. Probably ok as I am pretty ugly.
