I've just taken a random JPEG pic, and resized it to 100x100px using Paint, and saved as JPEG.
Uploaded it direct into the Forum, and there it is (snakey road).
Seems to be working.

I know we've had problems with uploads generally in recent months, but I thought this was now sorted.

Original photo was JPEG, 640x637 (129kB)
Thrown into Paint, and reduced to 120x120 (9.78kB) and saved as JPEG.
Uploaded to forum, using Edit Avatar.

If you want to e-mail me your photo that wouldn't, I'll try all that with your pic at this end.
Will PM you my e-mail address now.

Dpi has no meaning on the web. It would be very strange for the forum software to be concerned with it. Still, strange things do happen...

It will be file size that is the problem. As White Exec said, bang it through Paint to reduce the file size.
