I've tried uploading a new photo for my profile picture, but everytime I do it it says upload failed? It says to use a photo with 200px or something, but I'm not sure what that means?

Do I have to edit a photo before I can upload it? Technology isn't my strong point... :unsure: and now I have no picture!

Its means your profile picture needs to be 200pixels wide and high.
If you hover over the file on your desktop or whereever the photo is, it will tell you how big the file is (may say something like 500x600)



What program are you using?
