Regarding uploading a picture in the forum user profile

For what it's worth while brining my profile etc. up to date after the forum software change I note that using the same thumbnail .jpg 100 x 74 2.22 kb I could not successfully upload it in the picture section of the profile. I tried from an upload browse and from a url several times. The same picture uploaded as an Avatar on the first try.

Has anyone else experienced similar dificulties?

I just attached the picture in question to this message. In compose preview it shows as a broken link. I'll attach some other jpg and see if that works. They both show broken. I'll save this and see if they display.

    Yes I had the same problem. I ended up uploading the picture three times and the avatar three times, and it started displaying the jpg but still kept saying the upload had failed. Since the jpg was the same for picture and the avatar, I still can't say which one actually worked.

    A couple of those failed uploads might have been because the .jpg was 121 pixels wide instead of the max 120.

    So you are saying it is the avatar?

    Correct. I was able to upload the avatar not the picture. I don't know what the difference might be. It seems that in the context of this forum software they are the same. Perhaps the picture only displays in the profile. ??? I duno...

    How did you attach the images? Why is is it that I cannot click on them to open them but I can right click and open them in a new tab? And why does it say "Attached images" rather than "Attached thumbnails"? Why, why why???

    Anyhow, I did not have any issues uploading a profile picture, although it did get resized in the process.
