144845-cant-change-my-profile-picture

== Content ==
			
Wasn't able to find a subforum for issues outside the game, for this site itself.
 
Every time I try to add a picture as my avatar it tells me it's failed, it doesn't specify whether it's too big or too small or if I need to make a certain number of posts to prove I'm not a bot or something.
 
Anyone else experienced this?

I had the same issue. I used http://www.shrinkpictures.com/ and reduced the size from 300 to 250 then it worked. 
 
EDIT: If 250 doesn't work try 200.

This is also a workaround to get you avatar uploaded.
1: Make the picture you want in 100x100 size in MS Paint.
2. Save the picture as a PNG format.
3. Upload the picture lots of times untill it uploads (can take 5 times or more uploads)
4. Then your good to go!
 
It worked for me and others aswell so try it out :)

			Upload your image as a .jpg file. The image size limit is something like 250 x 250 (maybe a little lower).

			You're welcome sir :)

			Another recent confirmation: I had to select my profile image about a dozen times... but eventually it worked!

I call upon the necromancers of Nexus, sorta.
 
Incase some unfortunate soul is seeking to change their profile pic but the website refuses, the trick is the same as you do with feeding a kid some food, by pestering it enough.
 
200x200 is recommended ofcorse, and then you defintly need to keep selecting the said image you want to use several times til it accepts it. owkrs better if you had 3 copies of the same image and then make them take turns.I havent tested higher resolutions yet (as i seen alot of people having really high res and beautiful images as profile pics). Maybe the method is the same? I give that a try for sure and make an edit if it does work.

Since it's already necroed why not, 
 
200x200 or 100x100 and just spam it while alternating between the two sizes, I find that sometimes if it's being really stubborn to wait a day and try again. The resolution doesnt matter, as long as the size is in the guidelines, I also found as a user stated putting it in MS Paint (or paint 3D) and resizing to 100x100 worked for some reason)
 
I just tried this today and it worked :)

			Just adding to the above, try having the file size at or below 25kb
