Title: Adding picture to profile - HELPPPPPP
Post by: morgan on April 30, 2012, 08:46:28 PM
It's not that I'm technologically changed - it's that I'm a bit thick at times.  I followed doug's instructions but not well enough obviously.  I wanted to add my picture from my gallery and wanted to do it through upload my own picture - whilst the information was entered nothing happened.  How do you do it the other way URL IMG or BB? I don't have a web page.

And obviously also not going to be hired as a proof reader either.  Changed should have been challenged.

Ok, go to your profile, click on Forum Profile Information and choose to upload your own picture. I assume this is what you did. It could be that the picture that you tried to upload is too big. Try to resize it before you run the upload. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Morgan you might just need to re size the picture you are trying to upload?  If you click on I will upload my own photo and click on browse...it should take you to your pictures you have stored.  Re size it down and try it again to see if that helps.

okay - managed to resize to 150x150 approx - browsed and the file came up - then nothing.  Do I have press any other buttons.
For crying out loud where are your children when you need them?  They do these things without a thinking about them.

Morgan this may be a silly question but are you clicking the change profile button at the bottom of the page after you upload the picture?  I can't remember what size it needs to be....hopefully Doug will come along and can shed some light on why it isn't working.   We can get to the bottom of it though...don't give up  ;)

Hi Morgan, I went to your profile and clicked "I have my own pic" uploaded the pic you see...It's Captain Morgan from the movie Cutthroat Island...love the movie :) then clicked change profile at the bottom when I was done. This pic size is 136 x 163 and it's a .jpg

You should be able to go into your profile and upload your own pic to replace it. If you have trouble send it to me at DougVarrieur@FATtoSKINNY.com and I'll do it for you.  8)

Since your pic doesn't look much like a sailor, I assume it worked, Morgan?

hi doug - emails becoming like Australia Post deliveries - missing in action.

I've sent another email with attachment (i hope).  My computer seems to be getting
very temperamental this last week or so.   

thanks

Well Morgan you did nothing wrong. For some reason your jpg was faulty and would'nt load, I exported it out to a png and uploaded with no trouble. You're a very pretty lady, glad we can see you now  8)

You're officially my hero Doug.  Thank you for taking the time out to do that for me.  The photo was taken at my daughter's wedding 2 years ago (how time flies).  After that I put on a little bit more weight and grew out the curls (not to mention adding the odd wrinkle).  I prefer to be immortalised with a nice photo rather than one where I have just dug up the garden or been covered in dust, paint or whatever I have just been working on.  Though when it comes to before and after shots I will be picking the worst photo I possibly can so my after photo will be so dramatic.  haha ;D  Thanks again :)
