Same here... I spent the day trying to upload pictures, but regardless, they are systematically rejected. Two of them, I used in the past without any issue.... And of course, all of them comply to the guidelines... VERY frustrating. An account without pictures being quite useless, I think that I won't spend as much time here as I used to, to say the least.

I withdraw what I just said, ONE picture has finally been approved... and I don't even like it.

Come on guys, the site used to be so user-friendly and relaxed, no one comes here to be stressed about something as simple as uploading a picture.

But yet you have 7 pictures that are showing.. If you don't like the pictures they approve then don't load them it is your choice..

Just FYI it takes them more then just a day to approve pictures.. Which they have been doing this for several years..

Until your picture is approved it will not show up.. Got to give them more then just a day to review all the picture they receive..

Sorry, that's not the way it works for me.

Pictures are uploaded and do show up, only to be rejected within 10 minutes to 1 hour and disappear.

I may not like this picture, I've uploaded it because I ran out of better ones - I'm not this stupid. But it happens that it is the ONLY one which has been approved.

FYI I no longer have 7 pictures showing as you claim, I'm down to 5 already as two of them have been rejected in the meantime. I guess 4 more will follow soon.

Humm you had 7 up when I responded..

Pictures do not show up on your profile till they have been approved.

It is still up to you which picture is sent to be approved..

Only way they get deleted after they have been approved is is others reported it for being against site rules..

The (new?) rule of dealing with photos is odd.
I had a photo removed a few days back.
I got a mail saying I had to use photos that clearly showed my face and nothing else and a smile.
Now my photo did clearly show my face and I did smile. You could also see a bit of my Christmas tree in the background.
But my entire face was in clear view in the foreground.

Looking at other people's photos, newer accounts so from after the change here, there is one on a motorbike in the distance that doesn't show a face at all. Too far away and wearing a helmet.
Another one with a giraffe almost covering his face.
Full body photos that don't even show a head in the thumbnail.
Photos with sunglasses and/or hats & caps.
And so on.

That is okay & allowed, yet one with your face AND smile in plain view with a bit of a Christmas tree in the back gets removed?

Doesn't make sense to me.
If you cannot have anything in the background they'd have to remove tons of photos, including yours.
It's just silly.

Thank you for this lengthy answer, this is exactly what I meant, and tried to explain to no avail. I'm afraid that TxsGal3333 still refers to a way this site functioned and is no longer current.

My experience is exactly similar. And if I meant that I didn't like this picture, that is not only because it was my last option, but I had to reframe it twice before it was accepted - no background accepted, even my hair is gone, only a close up from my face is valid. I have three other photos, but if I switch them to be my main picture, they are rapidly rejected and deleted with the very same message as yours.

I agree that older accounts sometimes showed anything. But I certainly like to see a little more from a person, and the background is also meaningful. So a close up from a face is a nonsense in my opinion.

Strange goings-on indeed ...in the past a lot of people posted a scenic pic of themselves on holiday as their primary photo ...and money-scammers would often post a pic of themselves standing at a distance in the middle of a bridge next to the railing wearing dark sunglasses shades

Maybe -likely- they've got some overly strict AI proggie that goes over photos?
And then sends out the same PM as well.

Stupid thing is it also removes the photo that isn't approved of. They could leave it as a public photo, just not the main one.
Too much work I suppose.

I share your feelings on this 100% - an over-zealous AI...

Regarding your second remark, the three other pics on my profile have generated no automated PM - no approval, no rejection. I had more, and tried to place them as my main... then, they are immediately rejected and deleted.

EDIT: Someone just messaged me. The profile picture shows two bare feet, and nothing else.sad
