The system should allow GIFs, JPGs & PNGs.

Is anyone else having a problem uploading a profile image?

    The blog photos come from Gravatar, so you need to set up an account there.

    For some reason my profile pic uploaded sideways. I've been meaning to try again. I figured I just did something wrong.

    Dionisio Sanchez - Can you see if it works using a different browser on your phone? If not, can you test a different device?

    @David Rivera - You are using an outdated browser that our site doesn't support. Please upgrade to a newer version of IE or download Chrome or Firefox. Many other sites have ceased to support that version of IE as well -- you'll get a much better web experience with a modern browser.

    What happens when you try to upload a pic? Does it let you choose one from your desktop?

    Do you have javascript turned off by chance?

    When I hit the Profile Image tab, the green "Profile updated successfully" message is already there. I can browse my desktop for the file. When I hit Update, the pointed file disappears from the Browse field but the JPEG doesn't upload.

    The browser has enabled active scripting, which is what I understand you're asking.

    @Pat McGrath 

     & 

    @Ryan Prokopetz 

    When you have a moment, would you try again? Once you do and If it still doesn't work email support @ biggerpockets.com with the image you are trying to upload and I'll investigate further.  

    Thanks for the help,

    Rob

    When I click "upload a profile picture," the button gets lighter and nothing happens.

    The same thing occurs with both Firefox and Opera browsers.

    @John R. - Make sure your image is a GIF, JPG or PNG and is 5mb or less.  I'd start there....
