hello,
does anyone know why I cant upload a photo to my profile, everytime I choose my photo and click on upload the path is wiped out and nothing happens. I've resized my photo a number of times and its still not working. Thank you in advance!! :smile:

Did you ensure it is the proper file type?

.jpg for example?

Try re-saving it as a different .(ending)

That could be an issue.

Is it in jpeg or gif format? If not, reformat to one of those and make sure it's under the size limit.

Hi irishgirl22,

Sometimes it might take time to show. If you are using a cell phone, then it may not work. The site doesn't fully support phones.

so make sure the photos are in .gif, .jpg, or .bmp format and make sure the file size of the photo is not too large or it will not upload properly


Hope this helps some,

Kim

..if it's a smart phone.

You can dig in the Help Topics for a previous thread started by my name.

It will walk you step-by-step how to do it.

If you are using an iPhone or Apple cellular product; don't bother.
You have to purchase an application for that process to work.
And buy purchase, I do mean buy.

All my pictures were downloaded from my phone.
Even my current picture.

..but it's unanimous as we all are pushing towards the file type itself.

same thing is happening to me...

...can someone post what the maximum file size is here (in megabytes or kilobytes...)

...also, is there a maximum size as far as pixels x pixels...

I have used Photoshop to shrink my photos to 175x175, still nothing...

yes, they are jpegs... no, not trying to post from a phone...

Does Mingle have a minimum post count before you can post pics? i.e., user must post X-amount of times in order to be able to post pictures?

A quote from Mark:
"When it comes to uploading images to
a Mingle2 account, the actual file size
is almost unlimited. The number of pixels
in the image, however, is limited
to 10 million. In other words, the
product of width*length must
not exceed 10000000."

Perhaps its a Mingle system glitch...

The one photo I am trying to upload is:

28.7KB

and

175 x 184 (or, 32,200 total) no where near 10 million...

I guess the one silly photo with the shower curtain in the background will have to suffice, LOL

Just figured it out...

...evidently some kind of Microsoft Internet Explorer glitch-o... logged on using the Mozilla Firefox browser, bah-duh-bing... pics uploaded with zero problem...

Microsoft sucks, LOL
