Trouble Changing Profile Pic

I was working on trying to change my profile pic with a different picture of Mr. Geiser. Now when I select the file it indicates that the file was selected but the new image does not appear on the photo editor and the generic profile pic with the helmet is still there. Is there a way to fix this? I have also shrunken the size of the new picture but I am still having trouble. Thank you!

 

I could try it for you . Which is the picture you wish?

 

Thank you Skipper! It's the same picture of Mr. Geiser but it's the one andrwoo touched up.

 

Smiley, Try this one and see what happens

 

Could you please add my picture to my profile too? I tried to change it a couple of months ago but ended up just removing the one I had and not being able to add the old one back either.

 

Try it. See if it works.

 

IIRC, the avatars did not like being larger than 150*150. So that is what I have based my photo edits on..Max height or max width being 150 pixels, while preserving the aspect ratio(so as not to distort the photo).

 

Thanks for trying to help me. I saved your copy and tried to upload it and also tried one with even lower resolution but no dice

 

Well, I'll be...Works for me.

Ok Dave.Try this.

Instead of uploading...Use the import from URL. the URL is
http://www.ww2f.com/uploads/monthly_08_2015/post-15545-0-54598100-1439586501.jpg

 

Bugger all!

 

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have to use the Import from URL option!

Upload your photo as an attachment to a thread.
View you photo and copy the photo URL
Go change your WW2 profile photo...BUT...Use the "Import a photo from a URL" option
paste the link for the photo into the box
Click on the IMPORT button
Click on DONE


Bingo! Works every time!

Yeah...I had gotten stuck with Dave's photo for some minutes until I discovered this work around.

 

Bingo! Thanks very much.

Very nice of you to put that effort in.

 

I really hate it when computers get the better of me.

 

I sent Smiley a PM, so he should be around here the next time he logs on.

 

The URL option worked for me! Thank you Takao

 

Glad Takao could help you out, I was away for a while and only came back here recently.
