Re: I don't seem to be allowed a profile picture :(Your profile picture is showing just fine on your profile page http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/member.php?u=358405(Original post by sweeter than a cherry pie)
I have tried uploading lots of different ones, some over the size limit (to be automatically resized) and some comfortably within it, and even though the picture is displaying on my profile when I view it, it isn't when others do so. Please help.

Re: I don't seem to be allowed a profile picture :(I'm not seeing anything at all on the left(Original post by Illusionary)
I think you're looking at her avatar (on the right of a profile page) rather than her profile picture (on the left)?

Re: I don't seem to be allowed a profile picture :(I can also see nothing below, despite knowing that there's the HTML for a picture there!(Original post by Illusionary)
Hard refresh the page? It shows fine for me. Can you see the image that I've posted below?

Re: I don't seem to be allowed a profile picture :(
I quickly made another account from which to view this one's profile and couldn't see my picture either. Hence this forlorn little thread.

Is it possible it's only visible to mods for some reason?Last edited by sweeter than a cherry pie; 09-02-2012 at 22:17. -

I'm seeing a placeholder image in your post though. -
Re: I don't seem to be allowed a profile picture :(
Tested and it's only visible to supermods - I think this is likely to be related to privacy settings.
Check the permissions settings on this page: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/profile.php?do=privacy(Original post by sweeter than a cherry pie)

Ooh, ooh, I just changed my settings and hopefully it's visible to all registered members now! Please check again and let me know? You'd think I've been a member long enough to have worked this out, but had no idea those settings were there...(Original post by outworn)
Try going to settings > privacy settings and check the display options, there's an option there to choose who sees your profile picture.

Privacy settings don't apply to supermods as we need the ability to moderate all content on the site.

Re: I don't seem to be allowed a profile picture :(Its ok, I have been on the site even longer and I never knew a setting for that existed, I blame the supermods wanting to confuse TSR members to make themselves look good - so they add in new settings sneakily(Original post by sweeter than a cherry pie)
