Hi askfelix. Are you by any chance using a .gif background image? I noticed in another thread that people were having trouble uploading .gif avatars, so was wondering if the format was causing problems. – mdy, on October 12, 2008 23:25

just read all the comments and have the same problem. 6 months is too long for a problem like this to be fixed

Fixed it!

It was my fault, the sourcecode was right, but i saw the background-color-hex missed a 'zero'.

that's what I did wrong in the change color-panel. you should probably put some kind of check on there, but whatever.

I am having the same issue, why hasn't this been fixed since the first time it appeared 6 months ago?

It's not that big of a problem, but probably should be fixed.

My background image (it's only about 9KB) won't load. It was working before, but then I went to change it and now it won't upload any background pictures. It just defaults to the background colour.

Help? I'd be so grateful, it's really irritating.

I'm having the same issue, no matter what I do it goes to white background. My image is 100x100 pixels 23.4kb. Makes no sense really. I've tried changing it from JPEG to PNG nothing helps. I've logged in and out nothing helps, cleared cookies... nada.

I realized what my problem was, I don't know if it's the same for you but the JPG file I had used to upload was in CMYK and not RGB. Open the image in Photoshop or some other image editing program and check to see under Image>Mode to see what the color settings are. I worked around it (before I realized the problem) by resaving the file as a png (which had converted it to RGB anyway). Hope this helps!

Was this ever figured out? I can't get my design to come up either, just a white background, no matter what I do.

Aren't there twitter employees on here? I wonder how many people have this problem - my guess is a whole lot... will they ever respond?
