I was thinking to post a "before' picture of myself now that i have my date booked.
But when i look at the way to load a picture, it seems that i need to have a picture on a web page somewhere. Is there no way to just load a JPG file?
thanks!

Hi Trish,
correct... we cannot upload from our harddrives. I know many have had issues using pics posted on Facebook.... suggestion would be for Kodak Photogallery or frappr. Once posted there, then copy/paste the full URL for the pic location on the sites. Paste into your Profile forum info page... and don't forget to scroll to bottom to select "save changes".
Would be great to "see" you!

Photobucket works well too.

the best "frappr" page to use is: http://www.frappr.com/acousticneuroma we have several images there... if its a oneshot deal .. just use the frappr...
if you have many pictures.. I would set up your own http://photobucket.com account!

Hi everyone,
Let's see if I can figure this photo thing out...this is only a test.

Syl,
Let me/us know the steps you are taking so we can help figure out why it isn't (as of now) working. Where is your pic uploaded (ie: frappr, Photobucket, MySpace, etc)? The key is to use a site that we know works ok (we have heard issues of those using MySpace, but frappr and Photobucket seems to work fine). Make sure, once uploaded, you right click on the picture, then scroll down to "Properties". Once the Property window opens, highlight the complete "URL" of the picture (ie: www.photobucket.com/xxxxxxxxxxx).... then "copy". THen, come to the Profile page here, .... "Paste" the URL link into the "I've got a picture...."... and most important (after you Paste), scroll down the page to "save changes".
I hope that helps.

Thanks, Phyl,
It was copying the wrong info. The tip about right clicking on the photo in frappr.com, going to properties and and copying the url is what did it.
Now Syl has a face.

Syl, "I can see you now!" :D
(great job!)

Gee, Syl, it looks to me like it worked the first time, no problem! :D

Steve,
It appears that way. But there wasn't anything there when I tried the 1st 2 times. After the successful 3rd time, the photo linked up everywhere.

Steve is just joking with you :)
Once you link a photo to your profile, it shows up in each and every post you have written - even the ones that you wrote before you linked the photo.

Thanks Syl... i needed the tip about properties!
This picture is of Cali and me... i might change it... if i can figure out how!! ;)
Trish
ps. I posted the picture on the frapper site so you can get there for a CLOSE UP! ps. this was taken on Cali's first birthday so she has some cake on her face :P
-
Yea, Trish! It worked.
Nice photo - Cali is adorable!
Jan

Cali is so cute! And she has earrings!
Cali's mama is cute too, of course. Nice picture. ;)

Hey, Trish - love the picture!! Your little Cali is just beautiful, like her mama.

Here's another tip regarding avatar photos:
To see (some) avatar photos in a larger format, right-click on the avatar photo. This will give you a 'menu'. Click on 'View Image'.
That will take you to an otherwise blank page with the chosen avatar photo shown larger (if the original was larger)in the upper left-hand side of your screen. Some photos can be seen 'full screen' by clicking on the 'magnifier' (Debbi's does this). To return to the site/forum, just click on ← in your web page header.
Unfortunately, my avatar photo is a bit distorted. It can be seen undistorted - but not larger - by doing this. Hey, I'm working on it. (Translation: I'm trying to get my computer-literate son to fix it for me.) :)
