Can anyone explain why POF wants to shrink the width of my image to such a degree? It isn't a normal occurrence, so what is going on?

My picture is being cut so that half is missing, yet it isn't being uploaded as a wide or large image.

Very strange.

If the Background of your Image is "White", and has only uploaded partially, add a 10-20 Pixel black Border around it before trying to upload it again.

I appreciate the input everyone.

The size of my image was 250x250px, roughly28k. It is a jpg and the file extention was correct. Previously, I uploaded a picture of the same pixel size, taken from the same camera, cropped and resized the same way, and I had no issues uploading it. This particular image is having it's width cropped down to 209px every time.

After reading the posts in the links provided I scaled the DPI from 72 to 300, resized the pixel width back to 250x250, then shaved a single pixel height from the image. Upon uploading, the exact same thing happened.

Again, I appreciate the input, but this just isn't working for me. Not to be contentious, I would propose the responsibility to be upon the site maintainer(s) to provide an easy to use system for it's members rather than provide a 24 point list of 'infractions' they might commit in attempting to upload an image... most users aren't terribly savvy with many of these points, don't want to be... and shouldn't have to be either.

That's just my opinion, of course : )

I find the Photo Upload page to be about as easy as it gets.

The real trick is to have a good photo to send.

Good photo in = good photo out.

Doesn't tell you to do that. Follow the Instructions without adding your own "Inventions".

Images: Image Types
The largest Size a Pic on your Profile can be displayed at in your Browser is 300 Pixels wide by 299 Pixels high.

Simply make sure that the Height of your Image is 1 Pixel less than its Width, such as 300 x 299, 600 x 599, 789 x 788, 1,153 x 1,152, etc. ... or any other Size you like, but not exceeding 1,200 DPI on any one Side. After upload, if you then click on that Profile Thumbnail Image placeheld as the Main Pic, then check the Properties Page, your Image(s) should read 300 by 300 DPI. The Thumbnail "Mouseover" pop-up Image will also be displayed at same Size.


24 point list of 'infractions'

The Image Content you upload (Infractions) have nothing to do with technical Image Upload Qualifications.

No need to confuse 'Monkeys' with 'BMP's.

So when will the server-side white background picture problem be fixed?
