reply on: How do I add a profile photo? It's not working for me:( \ stacker news ~AskSN

pull down to refresh

from your profile page https://stacker.news/asanoha you should see an image icon. Click to select an image (png or jpg) and upload.

I've tried that like 3 times, but alas it will not work!:(

are you from mobile or desktop? Maybe @ek can help here

I got it! For some reason the image I was trying to use wasn't working! Hmm JPEG didnt work for me only PNG worked

Can you upload the picture here? Was there no error message?

I think I got it to work with a png screenshot!

Yes, but I would like to know what went wrong with the JPEG if possible 👀

But not that important, don't want to bother you too much

It just wouldn't upload a 2.1mb jpeg, not sure why it would.'t

Mhh, the limit should be 5MB for profile pictures

Will take a look, thanks!

Oh and sorry for the bad initial experience + welcome!

I found a bug why you received no error message: the code for that was missing!

But I don't know why a 2.1MB file would fail. I tested with a 4.5MB GIF and it worked.

Maybe there's something special about your JPEG? Can you not upload it at all, even not in a reply?

To upload a picture, click the first icon in the top-right corner of your reply box or hit CTRL+U
