I can't get my profile picture up
Hi. I've been on scratch for a week or two now. I can't change my profile picture! I need help.

Re: I can't get my profile picture up
I just figured out that you need the picture to be a special kind. It has to be .jpg. You can tell by looking at the end of a picture's file name. If it has .jpg there, you can use it as your avatar.

Re: I can't get my profile picture up
I've had some luck with other file formats as well (such as PNG)...but I'm pretty sure there is a file size limitation. I've only gotten it to work with files that were very small. I don't know what the limit is but I had success with a file that was about 15k in size.
It's kind of annoying that you don't get an error message of some kind when it fails.

It can also be .gif!

Retired from Scratch, but just the language itself. Not the forums.

Please don't bump up old topics.
I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!
