Yes, happened to me as well, also did the same as you to re-post. Not recently though.
I thought it was when somebody else is reading the same topic, or planning to post at the same time.

Yes Mike S, that's been the same this side for about the last 5 days.  Have to log in with password every morning. Get the message "you can only use the shoutbox if you are logged in. Then I click on "replies to your posts", and log in there.

Yes, I've also had the posting problem. I find that swearing mightily helps.

What format is the photo? And what is the size of the image?

Make sure that the width and length do not exceed the limits for your profile pic, should tell you the max specs when you try to upload it....

Actually, I think I will try and change mine today and see what happens...

I've done it in the past, so I'm using the same format photos, but it's just not working. You might find something when you try.

I haven't been able to change mine for over a year now...tried many times. Also a normal resized jpg photo.
Did you do anything about the logging out problem or did it fix itself....'cos I've been fine with that for a while now.

I tried again and it only allows me to post avatars, not photos.

Ok, for some reason or other, which I have yet to solve, the forum is only allowing images that are in the .gif (animated picture) or .png format to be  uploaded for a members avatar.

The maximum size allowed for any of these images to be uploaded is 200x200 pixels...

Patricia emailed her pic to me, I converted it to .png format and then resized it down to 200x196, I could then upload it for her.....

I will try and find out , why normal jpegs or bmp files cannot be uploaded...

If anyone else needs help to modify their profile pic, email me the image and I will see what I can do....
