			It was disabled awhile ago apparently.	
----
			I had the same problem hun, apparently the feature was disabled.	
----
			
Anyone know the secret to adding a profile picture? 
 
I have tried everything I can think of including several different pictures.  Under 20kb.  Under 150x150 pixels.   Always says... "failed to set a new photo"	
----
			the secret is wait until they turn the feature back on.	
----
			That would explain it.  Didn't know it was off and couldn't find any notes on it.	
----
			
No, you can "force" it but it has very tricky rules.
 
Like be sure it's more than 250x250 but no bigger than 1000x1000 pixels.
 
Only use normal, uncompressed JPGs. No GIFs, no PNGs. 
 
I've seen a lot of people get it to work, you just gotta jiggle the handle a little.	
----
			What I did was send a pic to MS Paint and make it 100 pixels x 100 pixels and then saved it as a .PNG. Went to my profile edit and attempted to upload it maybe 5 times or more and then it just worked.

			Yeah, the feature works but you have to make it very specifically sized for whatever reason.	
----
			Trying over and over actually worked. I got a jpg to work, the max size is 25kb apparently though.	
----
			***Working as intended

Just upload the photo over and over again. make sure that the photo is not too big and not more than 25kb .
I upload my photo 5 mins ago. i tried 6-8 times.

I got it to work by following the advice here... just kept uploading repeatedly, then suddenly it worked.
Thanks all!​

YAY! Avatars for everybody!
 
I do so love a Forum with "faces" instead of empty silhouettes.

			Is uploading a picture for your avatar disabled?	
----
			
I'm not sure about disabled, but it's clearly having problems.  I finally managed to get an avatar uploaded at 80x80 (6.5k) at first, and then I tried again just now with a 200x228 (20k), both Jpegs.  I did like they said here, but didn't bother to 'remove photo' after each upload, and simply clicked Browse, Opened the image I wanted, failed, Browse, Open, Fail, Browse, Open, Fail...after, I dunno, six-to-ten times it finally took the 80x80, and then without removing the old one I just kept trying with the 20k another ten-to-fifteen times-ish before it took.  I didn't count, sorry.
 
So it DOES work...sorta, with some persistence.  The file DOES need to be below 25k, though.
 
( Edit: Eeeee, and I post with my avatar showing!  Yay! )

Everything in this game you need persistence, it's like trying to avoid the character loop some days ago. :P
 
@Edit
 
The avatar compression looks shit tho.

			I just kept trying every day til it let me make one.  I know the size has to be super small in order to work too. 	
----
			@CapnSensible yeah, I did that too then realized the pixels were too high?  Not sure what that means precisely but did discover that if the picture is higer than 25kb it wouldn't work for me.  That said, when I got the size right it worked fine.	
----
			I did what Tex said.  Just scaled down the image to be ~250x250 and it worked first go.	
----
			Oh right, forgot to mention, made sure it was under 25KB as well :D	
----
			
it seems to me, it only needs to fulfill the requirement of under 25kb, but I didn't try going over the 1000 pixel marker...at that size, you may be able to upload a giant white box, but that's about it  :rolleyes:
 
Mine is just over 400x400, 25kb even.

This one I am using is 200x200 and has 23kb, it took at least 5 tries to work.
 
And the requirements are at least 200x200 with size under 25kb.

Yay this worked.
 
using MSpaint and resizing to 100x100 pixles, and saving to png

			Getting under 25kb worked for me.  Thanks for the tips!

Hi, how can i add a picture to my account?  Have tryed tons of different pictures with different sizes and under 25 kb.

			I'd love to know what the secret is too. I've tried many, many times. At one point it actually gave me 'file size too large' in which case i downsized it correctly and now back to the same 'fail' >.>	
----
			finally, thank you :D	
----
			There are like..six threads on this subject, but yeah....persistence is the key.
