Need Help Error When Attempting To Post Avatar Profile Picture

New member here and soon to be happy 560 owner....I’ve been trying to enter my profile info and everything works fine except I can’t seem to get a profile photo to be accepted. I have shrunk the .jpg photo down to only 6Kb and 200 x 200 pixels but I still get this pop up message:

The following error occurred:
The uploaded image is too big.

Searched the site but didn’t find anything on this...am I missing something simple?

I have been having the exact same issue with the same error message - since late June. I would be very happy to know what the solution is as well.

Don't know if this will work for you or not... literally right now, I was also having the same problem/error message... re-sized to 200x200 pixels and it was a 50 kb file - still got error... then for giggles tried 100 x 100 pixels (23 kb)... yay worked

Fingers crossed... good luck
 
Thank You!!,

I just posted a photo 100 x 100 pixels (33 kb) and it worked fine. A little small quality wise but waaaaay better than that gray box with the question mark.

Glad to hear it was a simple fix.
 
Is there a specific size and pixel limit for the avatar photos? I've tried a few different avatars I've used successfully on other sites. None work, I always get an error message saying they are too big. Thanks.

Have you tried that crazy small 100X100 pixel size?
 
It seems a little strange that after all the years this forum has been up and running, that there is still the same cumbersome restriction on the members avatar picture size as there was when we joined the forum 7+ years ago, but then maybe I'm missing something that is obvious to others.

Is there a way that the system could automatically resize any picture submitted to meet what ever requirement is necessary to produce the avatar space allowed??

That would be a great resolution (pardon the pun) to this issue. It's not something I have the ability to make happen unfortunately. I'm happy to work with anyone's image to see if I can make it happen. Just send me your avatar image and I'll give it a try.
