I was a night owl...until I wrote the post...then I went to bed. 💤💤💤 I'm on Eastern time so it was really really late for me (or very very early though I did go to bed after). And now I'm up again and about to jump off again for another long day. I really need to discipline myself better at night. Sigh. It's how I over indulge. 😉

That's strange that you had so many problems with the upload...I see why you used the blog to test. When you say the profile image upload screen, are you talking about the popup window that opens when you click on the Photo feature button in the profile editing screen (i.e. the popup where you can search for an already uploaded image or browse your computer and upload one without leaving profile editing)? I ask because I think I tried it that way in the beginning and I also had problems uploading that way. So now the way I do it is I click on the Contribute drop down (towards the top of every page to the right of the logo and site menu) and then I click on the add a photo option. That takes me to the Upload photo Special Page where I can also browse to the image on my computer to upload it. I can also use that screen to upload any of the other file formats listed and I can include summary and licensing info if applicable. Every now and again, clicking Upload file there doesn't work the first time but, when it doesn't, I get an error message and usually just have to click Upload file again and it takes on the second try. To date, I haven't had an upload that wouldn't take at all. If you haven't tried that screen yet, see if that helps you. Once the file is uploaded, you can still use the profile editing photo popup, only you can then just search for it in the uploaded files.

I think it's great that you've figured out a lot of the editing on your own. It takes a lot longer referencing all those help pages but I find I can't do without them. There are some things I've figured out on my own but much of what I know about editing here, I had to learn from the help files and then go through a lot of trial and error. But I look at it as time well spent...I never know when I'm going to need such info for the same or similar application in the workplace. 😉😊
