So I'm not new but...

I tried uploading a picture to the "About" section on my profile page... but it won't work

I get this message in red: "The image failed to upload. Most likely, there is an error in the image that is causing the problem. Please try again."

I made sure the Pic was less than 200kb, and I tried in both JPG and PNG formats---is it just an issue with the size in regards to pixels? I can resize it...

Does this pic-thing even work for anyone?

NOTE: I also tried submitting in GIF.

This was a little different---the submission went through okay, but no picture actually showed up on my "About" page.

Sachiko tried to help me with this---she ran into the same 'Error message' when she posted her pic... So this could be a bug.

Possibly a bug, possibly size limitations, but none are stated. It could also be gifs aren't supported, but I'm not sure.

I resized to 400p and 380p, but that didn't work either. (that was in gif) Any smaller than that and the point would sort of be defeated...

You might want to stick it on Report a Site Bug. I'm not actually sure where to look to fix this bug on the admin side, because profiles are fairly heavily hand coded.
