Merle Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 With appologies if it's written somewhere that I haven't found, but would some kind soul tell an old fool how to add a picture and personal details to the left hand columnof a posting.

Basil Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Go to 'Control Panel' in the 'Welcome' box just below the area selection buttons on this page and there you will find what you require. Bas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Bas, I found that and added a signature but I am obviously doing something wrong when it comes to photo etc, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 The photo has to be below a certain size or it won't upload. I'm not sure offhand what it is, but I'm sure somebody will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure offhand what it is, but I'm sure somebody will know. I'm pretty sure it has to be 100kb or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 And the lower the size the easier it is - try reducing the photo about 30 kb and see how you get on. Meanwhile we await with bated breath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for adding a photo the only way I found was to save a photo on a publicly available site, eg Flickr, and then paste a link to it, it's URL', in the 'Profile Image URL' box. My image is 144 pixel wide by 188 pixel high if that helps. The comments about image size seem to apply to posting a photo in a thread rather than in your profile. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drako Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I've been able to add my profile picture by using the "upload a profile image" function but i used your tip and kept the image 144 pixel wide and it seems to have done the trick. So it looks like you don;t necessarily have to upload a photo to another site and link the to the URL. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindiboy Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I have just resized this photo and am going to try posting it, if it works it is of Dover Patrol where one can overnight whilst waiting for a Ferry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vindiboy Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 The problem with Photo bucket is that it appears to send the whole File instead of just one photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
