Need Help Error When Attempting To Post Avatar Profile Picture

New member here and soon to be happy 560 owner....I’ve been trying to enter my profile info and everything works fine except I can’t seem to get a profile photo to be accepted. I have shrunk the .jpg photo down to only 6Kb and 200 x 200 pixels but I still get this pop up message:

The following error occurred:
The uploaded image is too big.

Searched the site but didn’t find anything on this...am I missing something simple?

I have been having the exact same issue with the same error message - since late June. I would be very happy to know what the solution is as well.

Likewise!

 

Don't know if this will work for you or not... literally right now, I was also having the same problem/error message... re-sized to 200x200 pixels and it was a 50 kb file - still got error... then for giggles tried 100 x 100 pixels (23 kb)... yay worked

Fingers crossed... good luck

 

Thank You!!,

I just posted a photo 100 x 100 pixels (33 kb) and it worked fine. A little small quality wise but waaaaay better than that gray box with the question mark.

 

Is there a specific size and pixel limit for the avatar photos? I've tried a few different avatars I've used successfully on other sites. None work, I always get an error message saying they are too big. Thanks.

 

No, I'm done guessing. You folks will have to take my word for just how good looking I am. ;-)

 

I don’t blame ya. I spent a fair bit of time trying all the tricks I could think of with no luck.

 

I messed around with this far too long myself. I see in the notes above I used 100x100 pixel size to finally get it.
Anyway, I looked at the properties on the current photo and pasted it below. Looks like maybe I was able to increase it to 140x140. Very low quality but at least it worked.

It seems a little strange that after all the years this forum has been up and running, that there is still the same cumbersome restriction on the members avatar picture size as there was when we joined the forum 7+ years ago, but then maybe I'm missing something that is obvious to others.

Is there a way that the system could automatically resize any picture submitted to meet what ever requirement is necessary to produce the avatar space allowed??
