Same here -_- And sometimes the cropping feature plays up and I'm left with an incomplete pic. This happened a few days ago again. When i realized this i went straight back to change it but the incomplete cropped pic was still showing everywhere i posted except on my profile page alone. I've noticed that when this happens it takes about a few days for the uploaded pic to appear.

Im sure all of us facing this prob will appreciate it if someone responsible would fix this issue asap :yes:Captain Ewok?

Yes this frustrates me too! I've tried every photo I can and NO GO! Come on VJ, who takes photos that are only 100 MB? Really? I like seeing the photos. We all say, ahh yes they look like us and they are getting a VISA, yay! Especially, those of us with a little age between our future spouses. I have some photos that are only 116MB but cropping doesn't change the size of the file really. What's the update on this issue? Thanks.

Resize is pretty easy in MSPaint. First crop a picture square, then resize it.

Also free website. Someone pays for bandwidth. Large photos take up bandwidth and increases load time. Since foreign spouses with internet slower than dial up and computers from the 90s are on here, it's important to make sure everyone can use this site. JMHO anyhow.

If you want a large photo then upload it to an external hosting site like photobucket and put it in your signature or on your about page, you can certainly do that.
