DB, I'm not sure on this forum but the last one I was running had a setting that would place a maximum size on the pictures. Basically if your pic was too large it would shrink it to the maximum allowable size. This one might have something like that.

There is a free online site that allows you to resize your pictures. http://www.resizr.com/

Its fairly easy to use. It has size templates and after your finished you right click and save your photo. Then you can upload it to which ever photo posting site you use (example: Photobucket).

Thanks for the link, Rage.  I was trying to remember what that site was.  As for the settings here, I'll be doign some tweaking as time allows to hopefully take care of that on the back end.

How do you add a picture to your profile?

Thank you

This new forum doesn't allow a picture to be added to your profile like the previous one did, I'm afraid.  We've been asking that everyone post an intro thread and add a picture to the first post.

Hi Admins,

On the profile there is a section called "Photo/Text".  Will we eventually be able to load a profile photo of ourselves in this area?

That section is for the "Avatar" setting which displays next to all of your posts.  At this time, we are not turning the avatars on.

I know you must be swamped getting the new site up and running.  And I know that we are all appreciative of your efforts.  The results are great.  You have created a wonderful place for the Ren community.  It is the best.  That said, I wanted to put in my plea for a return of photos.  That is one of the things about the old site that I miss the most.  Having to find photos in intro threads is okay for now, but it would be good if we could get pics directly form profile pages.

OK DB =  Now your just showing off....  Not just a photo.... but a slideshow...........  I'm starting to feel deprived... ;)
Cause, "Cake or death?" That's a pretty easy question.
Anyone could answer that.
"Cake or death?"
"Eh, cake please."

Don't worry....it's all part of the plan.   ;)

You're going to have to teach us how to do the slideshow thing if we get to have avatars in the future!  That's way too cool!

I guess the fact that the photo is gone means that it wasn't okay to add it to my signature?

I really miss having the profile pics.  :'(  You never realize how much you use something until you don't have it anymore.

Yeah, after some discussion with other RF'ers I voiced that it's so much easier for me to recognize people and who they are when they post or when we meet in person.  Names just don't stick well unless I have a pic.  oh well, I am very sure our great master admin has a good reason for not allowing it at the moment.  :)

Thanks for all your hard work in keeping us together Admins!

At this point, we don't want the forum to look like a Nascar Rally.  No image banners or links, please, until we state otherwise.  Any offenders will have their profile modified without notification.  Text is fine.



For those missing profile photos it has been suggested that you make an Introduction post and put a photo in the introduction.
