PHOTO NO GO

Image Uploads Are Not Working Properly (Known Issue)

Photo no go?

Some users are having trouble customizing their profile. This appears to be affecting both profile pictures and background images. Specifically,

Background image uploads claim to be uploading successfully but are not being displayed as the profile background after uploading and saving. Please make sure that you understand how to properly upload a background image. Also make sure that the image which you are trying to upload meets the image requirements specified here
A horizontal black bar is added to the bottom of the profile thumbnail image.
Full sized profile images are being stretched or distorted.

Background tile doesn't work at saving. It works on the preview, after saving it gets the NON tile view.

The tile option on the background doesn't work. Changing the background works and at preview it shows the tile option, but after save it doesn't remember the tile option.
