Default Changing Profile Photo Help ???

Been trying to update my profile photo with little success. Shrunk the new photo to below maximum KB's allowed, the new photo uploads fine and shows up as new image, to be uploaded to profile page, but when I try to up save changes, which I assumed would save it to the profile page, it tells me "unload has failed" without any further instructions or comments.

Do you mean your avatar? Currently, the black interior pic that appears on the left in every post?

If so, under User CP you can change your avatar. I never resize it, just upload my desired photo and it works. I believe that is an old instruction from a previous version of the forum software.

Just in case you didn’t mean avatar, I just went to my User CP and added a profile picture (my wife and I standing in front of our Corvette with the hood open). I didn’t resize it, simply selected and uploaded and it seemed to work fine (maybe verify you can see mine?).
