If you have a very old web browser then the uploading feature will most likely not work.

How do I get my photo approved quicker

The more complete your profile is the quicker your photo will be reviewed by an admin or community member.

Each photo uploaded, is reviewed before it is available for display to other members.

Profiles that are more complete will normally receive priority over profiles that are not that complete  when it comes to photo reviews and approvals for display.

Is my photo visible to other members immediately after I uploaded it?

It is not available straight away because the newly uploaded photos needs to be approved by us before it will become visible to other members. It usually takes a couple of hours for your photo(s) to be approved and appear on your profile. If we find a problem with your photo, we’ll send you an email with additional instructions to get it approved.
