Hi friends,
I've been trying to replace my "Moonlighting" image (see column to the left) for some time now, but it won't go away. What am I doing wrong? I've only replaced the image twice before, and am not really an expert at it. Here's what I'm doing:
-I hit the "browse" button next to the image on my "My Details" page.
-I double-click on the image I want when I find it.
-The "working" string of colored boxes slowly crawls left to right, and then . . .
I'm right back where I started. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? Steps I'm forgetting?
Thanks. |

Have you tried doing it from another PC? |

Thanks, you. My then-5-year-old snapped it before I was in full-bright-beam-smile mode, and for some reason, my eyes look like a drunk Picasso painted them on, but it's a fairly honest depiction. Thank God I got to crop out the bod, tho! BWAHAHAHAHA

I've had this problem no less than 1786 times. I'm in Firefox and I found that I needed to go to IE. Also I needed to check the size and refresh my page. I hope this helps. It would be great if we could see what redpen looks like!
Awwwwwwwwwww, you're just saying that cuz you haven't seen the beast yet! Careful what you wish for, cuz you KNOW I'm already crushin' on ya, and I'm tryin' to fight it, so you can't make with the sweet talk. (Darn husbands anyway! LOL)
Update: And the winner is . . . my gal Tori, with her stupendous suggestion of the "Refresh" button! Kinda like how I feel when I see her self-portraits . . . . whoops, did I type that out loud????
Thanks, everybody. We compu-dunces need all the help we can get! |

After unsucessfully trying to upload a picture of me I got a window that simply said "Yecch!" |

Usual failure reasons are:
 Trying to uplaod an image that is too big (limit of 100kb i think)
loading an image that is not the right format (I think only gifs, jpegs and bitmap files are accepted)
Every time I have failed to laod an image, it has been one of these reasons |

Are you remembering to hit the "Okay" button at the bottom of the page? That saves all changes.  |
