    Default Why am I having trouble trying to upload pictures?

    Every time I try to upload pictures I keep having it say 'Upload Failed'. I have tried everything. Any help would be appreciated. Heck, I tried to change my profile picture and now that won't show up. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Please help. Thanks!

    Don't feel like the lone ranger. I have been having that problem every since I first started trying to post pictures. They keep telling me to resize my pictures but haven't been able to do that either. Everything I've tried has failed so I finally gave up and quit . If you find out how to do it, I would like to know too.

    Do you have "Microsoft Picture Manager"? If you do, use this to resize your picture and SAVE! Then try uploadin g.

    You all need to reset your camaras so the pictures are less pixels. That is why the QB will not upload. The maximum file size is 1.91MB. If you have your cameras set to take high pixel the file size will be more than double that. You only need the high pixel setting if you plan on printing out your pictures. For simply sharing on line they can be much smaller, and by smaller I am talking the file size in megabytes not grabbing your photo and resizing it by dragging the borders with your mouse. That does nothing to change your file size. You camera should have different settings for the resolution so your picture files aren't so big.

    If you have a photo editing program in your computer, sometimes you can edit the file size by clicking the properties of the picture and just manually entering smaller numbers in the pixel regions.

    If you've resized it to meet requirements and it didn't say "upload failed", you probably didn't give it enough time to upload. Did you hit the upload link after you browsed to the picture? Try again!
