carolh Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 here you go Michelle 1st - find a pic on your pc you want to use, and save it somewhere easy to find - like the desktop and call it something simple like michellemmm. Make sure the image isn't too big about 100kb should be ok 2nd - go into control panel - bottom right hand corner of the box which will say Welcome, Michelle 3rdScroll to the bottom of the page to images 4th go to upload profile image and click on browse, this will open up a box and you then need to navigate to where you saved your pic 5th click on you pic and then press go! and that should do it, unless of course I have left out an important step - but if I have someone will jump in and help Good night folks Carol thunder and lightening and chucking it down with rain as I type this.....

Administrator Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 The limitations on picture size are quite strict I'm afraid: images must not be larger than [b]50kb[/b] in size, and will be shrunk down to [b]100 pixels wide[/b].... so best not to try and use something with lots of fine detail as it won't come out very well!

Guest starspirit Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I am too much of a gentleman to ever call you barking mad (if you believe that you are more gullible than most!) unless of course you live on the Isle of Dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zulurita Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hi Geoff, I used a program called Irfanview which I downloaded from their web site but any program where you can resize you photos will do. a. I resized my photo to 100x75 pixels b. I saved this photo into my pictures c. I then went to control panel and scrolled to images d. clicked on browse in upload profile photo e. find your photo in my pictures and click on it I forget the rest but just follow the sequence and it should work.

mogmartin Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hmmm .... I can't make this work either. I have done all that, I think. So, in 'control panel', right at the end I have a section called 'images'. At the bootom of that my 'existing image' is shown ... just the picture I want to appear. But does it appear on posts? Does it h*ll! Help! Dumbo ... aka ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Madge Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 The picture must not be more than 60 pixels wide. It took me hours to do it. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith T Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Tries a couple of days ago, without success.......several times! Got a pop-up message to smay there was a problem at that time! It's a pity there are some instructions included as to exactly what is the procedure, for those of us, like me, who are not highly computer literate. First question would be, having chosen the pic you want to use, how to shrink it to the required size (which as far as I can see is not inidcated anyway!) There mjust be some easy steps, I'm sure ....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Bell Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Cracked it, I now have a picture of my dog on the forum. Thank you all for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
