profile picture won't upload

[Spurgnard]

I've tried to set my profile picture 3 times with different files either 400 or 800 x 400 & they're under the maximum size. Do I need to make 3 posts? I'm not much of a poster and that's not the error I'm getting (it takes the information from my computer then it says it's unable to load).

Since I'm new I'm seeing a bannerlike message with Morrus's hotmail address & when I click "3 posts" it says I actually need to post 10 times to add my homepage (I'd like to do that; I might be paraquoting a little). Do I need to make 3, or 10 posts, which is a little daunting, just to have a picture of me with my dog in my profile?

Welcome to the boards!

Hm, unfortunately I'm not sure how often you need to post. Such limits exist to hinder spammers, so it should be a pretty low number.

If it's 3 times, you need only one more - maybe post a monster in the D&D Monsters A-Z thread.

If that doesn't do the trick, make a post with your pic attached to the post (or just post a link to it if you have one) and I'll try to upload it for you via moderator hax.
Edit: Assuming you're okay with posting the pic in public. (I'm mentioning this because profiles have privacy options.) Otherwise, feel free to send me a PM with the pic attached or linked to.

Could you show me a screenshot of the exact error? You do appear to have a dog as your avatar, so maybe it worked?

Weird…like, it took a week for you & Darkness's replies to show up. I'm sure, because I've been checking & was getting cranky. Just got the update email but that might be a Monday thing…not referring to the weekly post summary. I'm way too lazy to look up a D & D monster, even though I have my favorites, so I'll just thank Darkness here too, and mention that putting a 3- or 10-post prerequisite on having a picture on your profile doesn't seem to have anything to do with spam. This makes 3 so I'll try again, copy any error text to the clipboard if I get it, and not bother anybody any more if that sexy dog picture goes up properly.

Darkness, thanks for trying to help me. I have to take my phone apart to send the picture from another computer, but I think I need to try to upload it from something other than Windows 7. I could definitely email it from this computer–I'm just having trouble uploading from this site but I should see if it's just something weird about the browser. The cache keeps telling me I only have 1 response to this email, for instance. Anyway, I'll email you the picture if it doesn't work on my roommate's computer, either.

This is also happening to me. I have posted a bunch of times in my group, and the yellow banner is still there. When I go to upload the photo (in jpeg format, under the 400 x 400 and under the 97 kb) it takes me to a page that simply says "Unable to upload photo". Que?

My apologies, it says unable to save photo. This will be my 11th post here.

Never mind, figured out the issue. No avatars for non-supporters.
