Hi, I've been trying to put in a decent display picture (I.E one of me, not a mushroom) but it always says 'Upload failed' whenever I try it, can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong? for example does it have to be in a certain format? Because it won't work for me.

Are you able to just upload it from 'My Photos' (or wherever you've put it)? I think it has to be in JPEG format, but I'm not 100% sure.

If you've tried that, you could upload it using Photobucket or ImageShack.

I know it has to be under a certain size NOT sure what tho!!!!!!

Slightly off topic, but is anyone else having problems viewing many of the profile photographs at the moment? With the best photo award coming up soon, this may be a problem.....

Yes, so have I. I think I might have to set the category back a couple of months I think if the problem continues...

OK, I've updated mine successfully. It was a 230x250 pixel JPEG image, 43kb.

That being the case, if there are still problems, why not have a week's breather, and tack the photo award on the end of the list (after the recordings/compositions awards) See how it goes.

Just realised it starts next week!

I could swap it with the Best Newble category for now instead...

Car Expert

Only risk with that CE is that a lot of people will miss the change (me, and I suspect others too, as it's now high summer).

Yes, I suppose.

Car Expert

I think you should wait to see how many profile pics have been reinstated on Sunday, and if there are still a lot missing, give yourself a summer break, and put the award for the best profile picture on the end of the list. Even the Very Busy Man deserves a holiday!

Indeed he does!

The Very Busy Man

Do I count as a Newbie?

Thanks, I've managed to upload a pic of me on my Profile, it's now there for all to see!

YOU'RE A BOY! I always thought you were a female! Sorry!

I can't believe that, I though I made it perfectly clear I was a boy.

Yes, you joined after last year's awards ceremony.

Looks like a good category for Barry to win an award maybe?

Car Expert

Maybe.

So did I! Sorry!

Maybe it was only game-forumers who found out.

I always thought Jod was a boy...

I'm a Concert Soprano. How did you think that!

Boy soprano??

Castrato (ouch!)??

I don't know what a concert soprano is...!

We4ll basically, a soprano singer is always female, a bass siger is always male, a tenor singer is either male or a very low female, and an alto singer is either female or a very high male.

And you contribute to a music forum. Wash thy mouth out with wrights coal-tar soap immediately!

Hey! I know more about music than anyone who...

Dang. I don't.

That's just weird.
