Cropping a photo to go my profile

Is it just me or do the corner draggy bits (technical term!) not work...all I can put up is a funny corner of the photo I chose.

All help would be much appreciated (I am using an IPad)

TIA

I struggled on my my iPad if you can use a normal PC it is a lot easier. You may hit lucky and manage to move the square but I gave up.

Pic must be smaller than 2Mb, select it from the Brouse, I found it was better to use a photo which had a small image you wanted to use. Once you have the pic on screen the crop box can be moved to the selection area and extended too. Once you are happy with the pic you click on the top left crop and save botton, pic is loaded into profile. Hope that makes sense. It worked OK for me cos I've just changed mine. If your original pic is more than 2Mb and JPeg try and resize a copy first.

Oh you have changed your pic, Oldgirl. Did not recognise you there! I thought some cheeky person had stolen your name. ;D

I had problems with this too when I was using my iPad. Kept ending up with just a green leaf of my daffodil instead of the whole flower. Looked like a blade of grass!! Went onto my laptop & had no problems cropping and dragging my photo. Hope this helps? Claire.
