I hope this works.......... I know how to put a picture at the bottom of a post. I went to Ask.com, clicked on images, typed movies in the space. Images show up, find one you like, right click and select save as. When I do that it goes to my pictures folder. Then go to your SwapaDVD account settings and find the Forum settings. Where it says Upload images click on Browse. When I do that my Pictures folder opens and I click on the image I saved. Click Open and it should show up in the space bar in your Upload Image. Then make you sure you scroll down to and click Update Forum settings. And now I know how to add an image to my profile! I had not set up a profile before so I couldn't add an image. So now I have a nickname and a picture. I added the picture the same way I added pictures to my sig line. Gee, ya learn something new every day!

Ummm, all I can think of is . . . does your image meet all the requirements? File type either gif, jpg, or png? Maximum file size of 30kb? Maximum dimensions of 75px x 75px? Oh, and I remember someone else missing this part before . . . after you select you picture you have to scroll down and click the button "Update Profile Settings"! |

Nicole......when you save as and it goes to your pictures, make sure it says jpeg.....I think that determines the size. |

I am in the same boat, I have done all those things and still can't get one on my profile either. If you finally figure it out let me know! |

I think usually it's due to trying to use a picture that doesn't meet the requirements. And I've discovered that even if you have it exactly the right size it doesn't always work. It says the maximum is 30 k and 75 x 75px, but I usually take it down at least to 20 k and 50 px.. Also check the file format to make sure it's a jpg. Nicole, if you don't have software to edit a photo, and can't find anyone there to help, send me a pm. 8^) Last Edited on: 5/4/09 2:20 PM EST - Total times edited: 1 |
