Today i thought it would be a good thing to update my Twitter profile image. Hence i uploaded a new one and now i have to live as a “image-less” twitterer.

The old image was deleted and the upload of a new one doesn’t work. It tells one that the image was uploaded fine (”Nice image…blah blah”) but the image is not shown and the link to the image is broken. It doesn’t matter which browser one uses or if it’s a jpg or png.
It seems as this is a known issues since 22 april 2009: Profile images: can’t add or remove an image, or current image reverts to old image. As a software developer i have to wonder why the Twitter-Devs need that long to fix the issue. What are they paid for?

Update May 23th: Today at least the default image was shown in my profile. I uploaded my old profile image and it worked. Then i uploaded a new profile image and the issue occured again. The image upload does still not work reliably.

2nd Update May 23th: Whoohoow. It works!!! Finally i’m no image-less twitterer anymore.
