how do you guys do it? Been at it half hour trying to change my avatar...my pics are bigger than 200x200 yes but when I try to resize them by dragging the corner it all goes to crap(see current picture). I can't drag that corner anywhere precise, and when I finally have a crop I like I click save and then it goes rogue on me and crops whatever it wants. Enlighten me peeps pretty please! It works fine off my pc btw.

Id be thrilled to figure it out... my phone and ipad have the sme issue.

Same here...

[Burny]

Same problem.

[LuckyAcres]

And I thought it was gonna be the only fool around here having this problem

[MommaBear]

Ditto, I totally fluked out getting the one I did. But took me a good 40 tries!

Take screen shots of your picture than do it

I just tried to do this on my Android phone and I can instantly 100% see what you mean...

I'm really glad you @mentioned me, because it will help keep me focused. We're working on getting a mobile app to be able to access the forum, since it is obviously made for desktop and is hard to use on mobile. We got the app basically built (woo hoo!), and now we have to go through a 2-week application process to get on the iPhone app store, and we've got to get an iPhone to test on and make sure everything works, so I've been putting it off, but I want to get this done right away for everyone!

In the meantime, I found this website called Image Resize (http://imageresize.org/) and it will let you turn a photo into a 200x200 px pictures. I'm so sorry that this is the only option I know of, for now, to resize and crop an image to the right size on mobile. But here's how I did it on Android (I hope it works the same on iPhone).

How to Upload Mobile Picture and Resize to 200x200 pixels on ImageResize.org

Upload Picture

1. Go to Image Resize (http://imageresize.org/)
2. Select "Choose File" button and pick your image and click "Upload" button

Resize & Download

1. Click checkbox next to "Crop Image"
2. Choose "Aspect Ratio" of 1:1
3. Click to Resize Image to "Custom Size" and choose 200 pixels for both width & height
4. Use the interface to move the box around your picture and choose the part of the picture you want to use (it will stay square since the result has to be square, but you can make it bigger and smaller)
5. Once you're done, click "Process Image" and then long-press to save your new picture. At this point it can be uploaded as your avatar picture on the forum

I'm so, so sorry that this is the only way I can think of to do it right now, and I will fill out the Apple Mobile App store developer application right now so we can start getting real mobile solutions, and I'll see if I can get my hands on someone's iPhone or iPad for a few days! When we started the forum we didn't realize what we were getting into from a technological standpoint, but I'm glad that everyone is telling us about things that aren't working correctly so we can try to get things fixed one by one.

Any thoughts or ideas, big or small, keep them coming! We definitely don't have anything set in stone.

I've got one very small and minor thought. When I open the page I have to make sure to scroll off top banner real quick so kids don't see WEED in big letters across my screen. No biggie though. But it does seem like we all recognize you as GWE. Like I said just a thought and it doesn't keep me from constantly being on here. Love the site and the people

[DrPhoton]

Haha i laughed at that, i do the exact same thing.

[Kind-Dreams]

I just changed mine... used an image resizing site.

[CCisme]

Yay! Thank you!

[MommaBear]

Agreed, no reason at all to apologize Nebula! But awesome thoughts on the app and moving ahead and thanks so much for the interim solution!!!

LuckyAcres i have reason to wonder if it's an apple problem and/or a mobile problem. reason is bc i use only apple everything and i have had trouble with pics from jump. and there have been a handful of threads on pics uploading problems specifically and the apple users seem to always have troubles in the same places and where the PC users don't...which led me to think that there's at least some sort of apple affiliated glitch alongside any general pic associated problems. just my $.02

[LuckyAcres]

I'm using apple against my own free will, but I wouldn't be surprised, my 7 has tons of shitty glitches, the hype ain't what it is. I got the run around with catchonfire Samsung note, got ticked off, wife applied subtle pressure and bam I have an iPhone and look honey what I got you at the Apple Store for cheap, an iPad! Tons of glitches too, just like android. Only good thing is $10 a month gets me Apple Music, they got me now...
