I have changed my avatar many times over the years without any problems. The last couple of days, I have tried and it just keeps coming up with "upload failed". I have tried many of my different pictures from many different files, which I have used in the past with no problems. Can't understand or figure out what is wrong, any ideas ???
That is a generic error that means the file you tried uploading is too large in file size or resolution. Both file size and resolution limitations are noted in the upload manager.
Attach whatever picture you're trying to use as an avatar and I'll review.

I have even tried to upload pictures I have used as avatars in the past, and I still get the fail. Here is one of the pics I have been trying.
The picture you posted is far too large in file size and resolution as the upload manager states:
Custom Avatar Maximum Width (pixels) = 150px (yours is 1024px)
Custom Avatar Maximum Height (pixels) = 150px (yours is 768px)
Custom Avatar Maximum File Size (bytes) = 25,000 (yours is 158,283 bytes)
If it ever did upload, it shouldn't have.
If the above picture is what you want, it'll need to be resized. If that's the picture, I'll do it for you.
Thanks for the info. Don't know why that file would be any different than all of my others. I really don't understand how all this works, and don't know how to resize. If you will do that for me I would really appreciate it, what do I need to do, thanks again.
