Can't upload profile picture, but no error shown

Recommended Posts

I finally decided I'd like to have an avatar, but I'm not having any success uploading it.

The image I'm trying to use is a .jpg, and it's well within the size limits (both in terms of KB and dimensions).

I can browse for it successfully on my laptop, but when I hit the 'Add Profile Picture' button the page refreshes after a few seconds and nothing much seems to have happened - no picture, and no error message. And the 'Select Profile Pictures' box still says I haven't added anything. I've tried in both IE and Firefox without success.

Am I missing something? Thanks!

When I hit the "upload attachment" button on a forum post, the file name erases and goes back to the blinking cursor.

It was shortly before I made that post on Saturday morning. I have IE8 and I was able to upload the pic on Sunday. I thought you had fixed it. Weird!

I played with it with every program i have, i can't get to work either. The type of file on dz..com is a .png file. Maybe .png files and .jpeg files don'ywork well and play well with others?

The preferred format for profile pictures are .jpg .
It should be no wider than 1000 pixels and no higher that 1000 pixels. The size limit is 500kb.

I was unable to upload avatar pics via IE7 this morning, including jpgs I had previously used as avatars and uploaded using IE7, but had no problem doing it via Safari.
