Why is every change with tech GUARANTEED to make things more difficult?
It used to be a straightforward process years ago but now I can't see an obvious way to change my profile picture.
When I'm in the settings, I can see the options below:

change profile photo

upload new picture
choose file - no file chosen
upload

Those choices only allow me to upload another picture (not change picture) but after
they've already been accepted...shouldn't there be a simple way to select profile photo?

It should be simple Herbie, change profile picture, choose file and submit.

Have you not these instructions?

Delashay - the word 'should' is doing some heavy lifting there - as I said...you press on 'choose file'
and it's like a game of snakes & laddders as it navigates to my files to UPLOAD another picture againCrazy

I despise these autistic tech-nónces who fcúk up and just don't give a shítAngry

Image overlapping - I'll ask the Mods to change the image size.

I found the photo in your Public Gallery so that looks like where you may have uploaded it to.

It's a biggish image so here's a smaller one and some info I posted to help another user some time back on uploading it as a 'profile photo'. Here's the smaller version of your photo.....



To get started right-click on the photo shown above and then click on 'Save image as'.

On the next screen you see, click on 'Desktop' to save it there and give the image a name, e.g. avatar.

Then click on 'Save'.

Next step is to go to the menu on the left-hand side of the Forum   screen, scroll down and click on 'My profile' and you'll see on the right-hand side of screen click on 'Change profile photo'

A small window will pop-up, then just click on 'Choose file'.

Click on 'Desktop' and locate and click on the image you saved there earlier then click on 'Open'.

Then click on 'Upload'.

A new screen will appear stating 'Your photo has been submitted for review. It will appear as your profile photo once approved by a moderator'.

That's all there is to it!


Good luck!

A few words of warning...

I uploaded a new profile photo at 08:24 this morning and got the usual response....



The new one was nothing special just the one you'll see on your taskbar when there's a Windows Update pending.  This is the new photo...



As you can probably see form this post, my old profile photo is still showing.  Laugh

T2R - thanks for trying to help bud but that's not working for me...and besides, it's already been
uploaded and approved - I just cannot understand why there's no simple option to just 'select picture
for profile photo' - hence my frustration when I mentioned these idiotic, autistic tech fcúkers who
create these impossible changes (when everything was previously straightforward) to justify their own
necessity and have a position which isn't required - they don't deserve a job!Angry
