Having trouble uploading profile photo. Keep getting a, "General Error" message, try again. Photo is way under the 5 MB limit. Any thoughts?

Is the pic a jpg, png or gif format? if not you must change it. By default you Must enter a photo Title and select a Category or it wont accept the pic.

If this does not work, try to remember the steps you took to upload a pic and return to this forum thread and let us know if the issue still exists so we can further help you

1. Tried to upload a new profile pic using the browser button. It shows up and during upload a Error pops up.

Is this a PC or Mobile issue? what browser are you using? is it updated? have you cleared your browser cache?

UWnewbee is correct, it could be the type of browser you’re using. It could also still be an issue with the file format. Just because it has a .jpg extension doesn’t mean it’s a jpg file.
