As TW, I use image size on my iPad or phone, very easy to use.
Selecting a photo in the photo directory and pressing export in photos brings up a myriad of options, one of which if you have downloaded it can be the Image size App. Alternatively, if you have several to resize it can be opened and used independently.

I have tried numerous time to upload a profile picture without success, file sizes have been reduced as recommended in the tutorial yet all I am getting is: '' Upload failed. Must be a valid image (jpg,gif,png,bmp)'' They are my own original Jpegs that I have taken either on camera or phone - image files have been reduced both in paint and photoshop, neither work....Any other clues?

It's a well documented failure on this forum, I know how to do all those things regarding the posting of photos etc but the Profile photo beats us all. If you see a profile photo on the forum it is because it has been there for an eternity, just can't be changed or updated or replaced.

I seem to recall they have to be 500 pixels (I think) and you have to have Adobe Flash Player to add profile photo. Adding a 500 pixels photo to a discussion seems to work OK but not been able to add profile photo for a long time.

Rochelle mentions in her OP..."if you have any further questions, please let me know"...
How about addressing the problem with members not being able to upload or alter their profile picture...Just checked and tried to replace mine....the 'profile' link just keeps going back to 'view profile'..

Thanks everyone for your feedback...at least I know it is not me now and I can give up on the challenge! It is a bit 'naff' to say the least, not sure there is a point in C&MHC putting a thread on to assist if they are not going to update it and address any concerns or problems - seems about as useful as a chocolate frying pan!
