Need help uploading avatar pic...

Asked by Amorphous_Blob (259points) December 16th, 2009

I go to my profile, click Browse to Ed3.PNG on my C drive, 65 KB, and it returns a message “We’re only accepting images of the JPEG, GIF, and PNG variety”. What am I missing?

I don’t understand why you should be having a problem either. Under “My Account” there should be a link to “change my picture”. It should be as simple as that.

We’ve got to see that pointy hair, although I like the Amorphous Blob that is showing now.

Whenever I run into that kind of problem I just change it to a JPEG, that format seems to have the least problems. This may be a bit ghetto, but it’s what I do. You can open the image up in paint and save it as a JPEG, works for me every time.

Thanks missyb, that worked.

@Amorphous_Blob happy to help, and now I remember who you are! :-)

Maybe it has to do with the difference between Ed3.PNG versus Ed3.png.
Don’t ask me how or why they’re different, but I do believe file extensions are case-sensitive at least to some programs.

I had tried lowercase png before, and no dice. Jpegging it worked… thanks for the answer.
