So uh yeah
I've been trying to change my profile picture but whenever I hit save it just doesn't show? I tried this more times yesterday, I also tried it today, still the same.
Anyone?

You have to use the image URL instead of just trying to upload it directly.

Make sure you're not actually uploading the picture from your files. Upload the image to an image uploading site such as IMGUR or TinyPic, and then copy the Direct Link. Then, just past it into this tab:

If you're using this on your phone it might not work. Just thought I'd tell you. ;) Otherwise, as mentioned above, use an url.

Be sure 'tis the image URL and not the site link. To get the URL, right click the image and click "copy image link" or whatever y'er browser has similar to that.

Just figured that it is worth mentioning that if you're linking the image from tinypic you need to use the "direct link for layouts" link, not the one above it. Speaking of which, I would reccomand trying to link it from a site like tinypic if you aren't already, it might do the trick.
