Default RE: how do i put a profile pic on????

Yea, after hours of fiddling with it, just after I wrote this message I finally was able to get it to accept my photos for profile and my models. When trying to add the photo to my profile it took forever and didn't do it the first 4 or 5 times. Then I read this forum and saw where you said the other peson was trying to use too big a photo. I used my Photo House and reduced a photo to 85 x 85 pixels. After seeing what it looked like, I knew I still wasn't getting it right and that is when I responded to this forum.

I noticed you didn't answer my question about the size of the photos. Wonder why? The picture it finally uploaded for the profile was 2.50 MB. That is one whole lot bigger than a photo of 85 X 85 pixels (21 KB) if I understand anything about picture sizing.

What is an avatar? I thought the picture under the name was the person's profile picture. That sounds like a good thing.

As for the "My Models" page, when you click on the add photo it goes to the add equipment page. Now it doesn say "add equipment used in the model you are trying to upload. It wants you to pick a manufacturer or find where it says none of this applies. I couldn't find that. But I finally muddled through it, trying different thing until I finally got it figured out.

So as you can see, it is like I was saying. Your instructions and the procedure sounds real simple for one who does it all the time. but not really worth a hill of beans to some out there who doesn't.

I am not meaning to be sarcastic here at all. I am just very dissapointed and was very frustrated. I also did a trouble ticket. they didn't answer anything. They just told me to go away and ask someone else.

Tell me the thing about picture size that I am not understanding again.
