Profile Picture
Sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn't find anything on this. I am trying to upload a photo from my computer for my profile picture. When I click on the save button the area where the location of the photo is goes blank. Is there a file size limit? The file size of the photo is 2.36MP. My camera is 12.1MP and I am not sure how to make the size smaller. Would I have more luck uploading it to photobucket then linking it to my profile picture? Thanks for the help.

Well, I figured out how to resize it, but the resolution leaves something to be desired. Does any one know what the maximum resolution of the profile picture is?

Thanks. It's a picture from the first (of many I hope) hike of the year with my wife. And probably the only sunny day in Port Hardy of the year.

Thanks manalishi. It is just south and to the east of the north coast trail. I hope to do the NCT soon but I'll probably wait till next year as I am kind of out of shape. I'll probably warm up this year with a few trips to cape scott.

Hi Jett-
Welcome to Trailspace! Sorry that you ran into a bug right off the bat like that.
We've had sporadic reports of similar problems with uploading large images — usually in the 12 MP range — although it doesn't seem to be an issue for all images that size. Could you e-mail me the image that wouldn't upload? That could help us pinpoint and hopefully correct the problem.
Thanks
-Dave

Oh and Dave, in my first message I meant 2.36 MB, not MP. Thanks again.

Re: Profile Picture
Thanks for your help Jett. With the help of your file I was able to track down and fix the bug. You should be able to upload the full-sized original file now.

I tried a few different pictures and they all worked. Thanks Dave.
