How do I make this pic my avatar? I've tried repeatedly to resize and it won't work

[CarsOfFortLangley]

Is it because it's too big file wise? Use http://www.imageoptimizer.net/Pages/Home.aspx to downgrade the photo size/quality.

That's what I did at least.

@midengine I resized mine in MS paint until the file size was below 2mb and then it worked.

@MidEngine I've been meaning to change this setting. I just updated it to let you upload a 6mb file.

@midengine I just saved and used my Oppo pfp

@midengine You need a square image. Here, use this one.

Microsoft Office Picture Manager is a dinosaur, but it still exists... and this is one of the things it's still useful for.

@ttyymmnn LOL Nice Beetle.

@MidEngine They have to be square, sadly, but lemme see what I can sort out!

ALSO, there is a known glitch (at least on Linux, not sure about OSX and Windows or mobile) with the image uploaded ONLY FOR AVATARS (it works fine for images in posts)....what is the file extension on that image? The Avatar image uploader works with JPG files, but there is the aforementioned glitch where it will only accent JPG files with the JPEG extension...just change the file extension and try uploading it again!

EDIT - Would something like this work?

[MidEngine]

Yes, that's a much nicer pic than the one I just uploaded
