I've tried several times to change my profile picture with no luck. Image is meeting all the specs. I go to upload the image and it sits for about 5 minutes before the pages moves, it then goes to my profile page and has no picture selected.

Here's the pic specs:

I wanted to also say that I've tried with several different pics, changed sizes, even tried a different browser and it still doesn't work.

I think it is scanned and reviewed and that can take a day or so.  At least that is way with avatar.

It doesn't show that it's pending or anything like it does when you change the avatar though.

i don't think so. profile pix are immediate. we even discussed this within days of this mess of a forum going "live" (yes, i'm using that term loosely).

If you upload a Picture to your Profile if right size it will upload in an instant.

If your uploading an Avatar even if you meet spec there is a delay of often 48 hr before they approve it and it shows up.

I know when I first set up avatar for my account after I go sized right it was 72 hrs before it showed in Avatar list and I was able to use it.

I still think something's screwed up. I've tried several times. It takes about 5 minutes of loading, no error or anything, and goes directly to this:

Thanks for checking on it.

I am in the processing of trying again (this file I'm trying now is larger in size)...been going for 6 minutes now.

I had previously refreshed and tried again....I'll wait this one out and see how it goes.

EDIT= it's been trying to upload for 10 minutes....guess I'll try again later.

I'm pretty sure this is related to the queue of file attachments. We had the same issue about a week ago and it cleared up when a bunch of files finally made it through the virus scan (which is not built into the forum software, it is a separate service). Still researching the cause of the delays in the scanning.
