The emperor has no clothes

I was messing around yesterday and thought I'd put up a different avatar pic. As usual I have no idea what I'm doing. When I try to change it, it doesn't take. Now it seems when I get on with my iPad it shows a blue box with a ? . When I get on with my phone it shows the old pic.  :o I've tried logging off of both and redoing it several times with no luck. Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong ?

Are you trying to upload the new profile pic or host it somewhere?

If you're trying to upload it, I seem to recall the size and dimension requirements are pretty tight.

I've tried it both ways , with no luck. When I do it and click change profile it reverts back to what was there. It's strange how it shows differently on my iPad and my iPhone.

Can you link me to the pic somewhere, I'll see if I can figure it out?

Man that feels weird seeing your mug on my post! :)

I resized the image and uploaded it, it took that way.

You can download the resized version here, then try to upload it as your avatar (On the profile page "I will upload my own picture" then point it to this picture - https://s15.postimg.cc/gc0fx4r3f/818_BCF2_A-2552-4_DAB-_BC8_E-_AA4_D63466668.jpg )

I may or may not have hidden a small "I ♥ Trump" in his new profile picture before sending it on.

;D and I'm too stupid to go back to the old pic.

I also couldn't get mine to update (that is why no pic), either a direct UL or a link to postimag.

Zerk, what did you do?

Meathead, what did you do, DL the resized pic and then UL it to your profile?

I resized it to 100x75 pixels, then uploaded it back to PostImage so that Mr. Head could download it and then he could upload it to his profile.

Same offer I made him, get me the pic you wanna use and I'll resize it.

Well I played with it in Edit for about 15 min, got it down to below a 800Kb size (40x40 % reduction), and I was able to UL it to my profile.

Thanks for the offer.

Just like how your car stops making that weird noise when you bring it to the mechanic, glad I could help by proxy... ;)
