dylanisabaddog 4,746 Posted November 1, 2018 Can anyone provide step by step instructions to upload my profile photo? It was there before this brave new world but now it's gone. When providing instructions please assume you are speaking to a small child who is not particularly bright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Click on your name top right which will bring down the drop down menu Click on Profile Bottom left of the blue D that you now have as a profile pick should be a small box which opens up "Profile Picture" Three options to load your picture, I dragged mine from my pc desktop into the "drag and drop here" section Edited November 1, 2018 by Molly Windley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,503 Posted November 1, 2018 Yes, on a phone it appears the upload photo doesn't work, import from URL does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Raven 276 Posted November 1, 2018 Phone is fine as long as the photo is less than 0.5mb in size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,503 Posted November 1, 2018 Ah, I dont get the option to select a file. The button to choose a photo doesnt fire the native file explorer. Almost as if theres no input with type file? Galaxy s8 edge chrome browser.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

93vintage 16 Posted November 1, 2018 Uploading an avatar on desktop Chome worked for me, I just pointed the file open dialog to where I'd saved the picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What does that mean ? Smithy, there's 3 options option 1 - Upload photo - if you click that you then go to choose single file click that & choose a picture from your pictures option 2 - Import from url - that brings up a block box for you to insert url of the photo you want to use option 3 - no photo Does that help ?

I see what you mean but i don't know where the photo I had on there has gone and if I found it I wouldn't know how to transfer it across. I'd best wait until someone in the family who knows what they're doing comes along. Edited November 2, 2018 by ......and Smith must score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
