When I try to put our cover photo on, I get an FB message that says it must at 399 pixels wide. No problem. Except…..FB give me that message with EVERY photo I try! Anyone else experiencing this?

@barbc that’s a strange one, I haven’t seen anything like that. Something you could try is go to this site http://lorempixel.com/ and double click the dimensions to change them and use the 851×315 pixels and then click on the color or gray image. You’ll be given a random image that is exactly the size you entered. Then right click the image to save it to your computer.
See if uploading one of their images has the same effect.
My guess without being right at your computer is there may be something in the exif data with the image, or for some reason FB isn’t reading the file properly.

@barbc seems to be a glitch in the system, I just upload again and it goes through.

Were you able to get it uploaded, @barbc? I’ve had that happen to me with pictures before.

@barbc – I know I was having problems at first, it didn’t matter what size of picture I was using it was blowing it up like Crazy.
I created one the exact size it called for from scratch and it worked fine, so it might be a glitch, who knows, besides FB.

@andrea-vahl No, Andrea. It doesn’t work for me to just be shown 1 image at a time with their limited topic choices. Works better for me to google a word or phrase and see lots to choose from.

@danhoward But FB only asks for a width, Dan. What did you put in for length? Same? ‘Cause I tried that, too. 399 x 399.

Very strange, @barbc – I have been able to upload just any regular picture to my Timeline photos. Facebook has been having a ton of quirks this week.
