Title: Heres a dumb question regarding user profiles
Post by: delfunk1 on August 01, 2005, 11:11:18 am
I know this is probably very simple but for some reason I can\'t figure out how to do it.  How do you add a picture to your user profile besides the avatar?

User CP under Settings & Options > Edit Profile Picture

i know, you\'d think it\'d be under Edit Profile, but it\'s got its own section..

you may need to resize it with a picture resizer. you can find free ones on the internet or you can email it and I will change it for you.

can you do it with the picture scan program on the computer ?

I can\'t answer that. You probably should be able to. I guess it depends on the software program you are using and if it has such an option.

Where is the file saved on your computer, beserker? Go to "upload file from computer" > browse > click on picture
The C: location should show up in the file name bar, then click "upload."

download and install irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/).

open it up, and open up your picture. click image > resize, and click on the box to save it as a % of the original. put something in there, like 50 or 75, depending on how big the original is, and click ok. then click file > save as, and save it as whatever.jpg, then try to upload it again.

Which one did you want for your avatar. And I\'m assuming the other would be for your profile?
