SharePoint 2007 Troubleshooting: User Image Not Displaying in a Site

An issue was reported that in a sharepoint site under all people page for some of the users the image was not being shown up although they have uploaded the same.

It was coming like this:

We checked all synchronization jobs, removed the user from site collection and added again but no progress was there. We finally started comparing this with another user whose picture was coming properly. We compared a profile properties but there was no improvement.  Wechecked permissions and  all things I could have checked but no improvement. Finally we could not believe that this was just a folder issue.

We saw that the image of the second person was uploaded in a folder named as profile pictures under shared picture library of his mysite. However when we compared the same for the first user I found that it was uploaded directly into the shared picture library. Hence we created a folder there with the name profile pictures and uploaded the image over there and the issue got resolved. The image started showing correctly in all people page.
