IS THERE A TRICK TO UPLOADING SCREENSHOTS??

I submitted a game profile and I've been messing around with its appearance while waiting to see if it gets accepted.

I noticed that the screenshots I uploaded looked awkwardly large in the image gallery so I sized them down and re-uploaded them to the game profile only to experience the same issue with 4 out of 5 of the images. After checking that all 5 images were in fact the same size (544 px x 416 px), re-saving them, and then uploading the images again one last time (To ensure I hadn't accidentally selected the old, larger versions) I'm still having this weird problem where only 1 of the images is displayed at an appropriate size.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a magical secret to uploading screenshots that I don't know about? haha

P.S. If this topic is better suited for the "Help Me" section of the forum let me know! I posted here because that section seemed more about game dev related questions than site related questions...

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Try right-clicking on the image, choosing View Image (in firefox) or Open Image in New Tab (in chrome), and then refreshing the page that opens with just the image. Something about rpgmaker.net's image caching doesn't store the timestamp correctly if you replace once of your screenshots (or a file in your locker) with another one that has the exact same filename.

Fortunately, the problem generally only exists for you as the game's designer. The screenshot'll look correct for anyone else who opens it without doing anything special, because they don't have the old version cached.

An alternate, possibly simpler solution is to change the image's filename when you replace it.
OMG IT WORKS!!!!! Can't believe I didn't think to check what an image looks like in a new tab...

Thank you so much LockeZ! This was stressing me out so much haha
You can also hard-refresh (CTRL+F5) and it should reset any changes you make, visible to you.
Awesome! I'll make sure to try doing a hard-refresh next time I have issues with a game profile. Thanks Liberty!!
