I can't change my Facebook profile picture?

[lafemelle]

I open my profile pictures and select one, and down in the left corner I click the link that says, "Make profile picture." Facebook then closes the window that had the picture in it, but it doesn't change my profile pic. It does this with all of my photos, not just one.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Try Doing it another way try going to your profile and click on change display picture in the display picture area and select a file and see if that changes it if it doesint than check to make sure your File Size and the File type meet the requirements if they are correct than contact facebook at the Help Center

The problem is in the new photo's view , to solve this problem try do these steps :

Solution one (working with Firefox , Opera , Google Chrome )

1. Try Firefox or opera but i prefer Firefox
2. Go to ur photo album and choose the photo what u want but don't click on it
3. Click on it right click and choose ( open in a new tab ) to open in it in a page , if u click it with left click , it'll open in the stupid new photo view don't do that..
4. Now choose ( make profile picture ) and you'll find it asking u to confirm it


Solution two ( Working with any browser )
1. left click on photo with the new viewer of Facebook as usually opening
2. go to next photo or previous
3. go back to ur target photo
4. press ( make profile photo )
5. it will work and u can cropping it too

hope that help u

Go to your profile pictures; instead of clicking on the picture to enlarge; click the picture you want with the right click and press where it say "open link in a new tab".. then it will open in the classic view (without the black background) and click where it says: "Make profile picture" and that's it!
