Are you using your phone to try to upload the profile picture? If yes, can you try it from a regular PC? That'd be worth a try.
Well I don't have a working computer as of now so all I really have is my phone. I have successfully put pictures on "attachments" & "mobile uploads" but still nothing has appeared for my profile: ( And also no journal entry
Everytime I try to add a already uploaded photo to my blog from one of my SG albums I click the image button and paste the image url just like is explained here but the photo always comes out too big for the blog.
This is very frustrating and how can I fix this?

sometimes you can just click on edit without doing anything else and the pictures will resize themselves to fit...but it does not work every time for some reason.

If you upload the same image from your PC again, using the Attach / Browse thingy, straight into your blog, instead of copying it from the album it's in, that should make it automatically fit I believe.

Unfortunately that is not the case. I even tried to find some html codes to try and choose the size of the photos but nothing works.

Yes, I just wanted those specific pictures to be in another album.

I experience this too for ages and I s'pose it's probably a bug which the tech staff surely know about and have queued up to get to when they can (obviously just speculating there.)
What I'll do for a workaround is to write up my blog, then after I'm all done I'll post it and click edit and ctrl+a and copy it to my clipboard and then paste it into a new comment on the blog. Then I click the edit on the comment and it'll resize the images there. Then click edit again and copy the comment code to my clipboard and edit the blog and paste it there. Then you can delete the comment and the blog will be as expected.
I could be wrong here, but I think that the image sizes for comments are slightly smaller than they are for blogs so it wouldn't work as well as using the attach feature. But for those instances where you do want the images to be in a location other than your attachments folder, that's what I do. It's more steps but it gets the job done.

As long as you know the original image's dimensions in pixels you can edit the opening tag for the image to include those dimensions, like this:
[IMG|1200x706]
That's worked for me to trigger the re-size function when it won't work on it's own.

what does it mean when a persons name shows up in black?
A member, or an SG? If it's a member, I think that means their membership has expired. An SG would mean they have been archived. Is that what you mean?

Is their a way of uploading multiple pics at a time,or a folder of pics?
Mac user.
CHeers
Go to the pics section of your MYSG. Scroll down to where it says make an album and create a new album for the pics you want to upload. Go back to the same area and choose the pics you want to upload, using the dropdown on the right to choose the folder you just created. This is how it should look:

Rourke -- Members whose membership has expired used to have their names display in gray -- people used to say that they'd "gone gray" -- but now their names are in purple like anyone else's. Archived SGs' names are still gray though.
_beans_ -- Does their profile picture look like a red haired angel with a bar covering her eyes? If yes, that means that they've set their profile to Anonymous. So, you can't go to their user page, and they can't post on the site (except to click I Loved It or Not For Me). If they're still a member, they can set their profile back to Public whenever they want.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, if someone's name shows up in black (as opposed to grey) and their profile picture shows up as the angel but with a black censor bar over her eyes I think it means that they've "gone anonymous," which allows them to still have access to the site and all of the content but it keeps everyone else from being able to see their profile/pictures/etc. I think it's also possible for someone's account to stay this way if their membership expires before they come off of being anonymous.

Indeed! If someone's account expires, their profile will stay the way it is, either Anonymous or Public.
Anonymous members can access the site content, except for groups. They can't see into any groups, even public ones, or ones that they're a member of.

a question (and i apologize if it's been covered before and i missed the explanation):
how is it that people can view my folders when i have them set as "friends only?" i keep having random guys commenting on the pictures in my albums, even though they are not on my friends list.
