Profile picture

[Missy]

I dunno how to do it!
I tired resizing and what not but I can't get a link to work for a profile picture. Do I need to do something special?

I don't like being a blank human shaped blob lol.

First thing you need to do is make sure the picture you want is no larger than 64 KB or 100x100 px. You can take a photo and crop it simply using Microsoft Paint (not sure what Mac's use), or better photo programs like Paint.net (free) or Photoshop.

Mine would not work even if it was 100x100 but slightly larger than 64 KB. Therefore I had to go into Paint.Net and when I saved the file as a .jpg instead of .png I chose to save it at 90% of original detail and it brought the size down to below 64 KB.

I then uploaded the profile picture from computer. You can also use a website link, where if you post your image via http://postimage.org/ you can get a link directly to your cropped image.

Hope this helps

EDIT: Oh and make sure when you click on your avatar, you select use custom avatar bubble. Using the do not use custom avatar bubble will not use an image.

Unless photo bucket is just a **** and wants me to fail.

Try uploading the file from your computer, rather then linking it from a website.

LOL. If you told me this WAS a photo of @Missy, I'd believe you. Just based on her posts, it COULD be her; she seems like a delightful young lady, and that fun photo captures her spirit.

@Missy, if you're unable to upload your own photo, this one is actually quite cute. Hmfrz picked a good one for you!

I saw it as a kid, the whole thing. What I don't remember as an adult is that it was a Steve McQueen movie!

Lmao I know, I'm not easily offended and honestly I would probably pose in a picture like that to be funny. Granted my hair is shorter stick straight and auburn(as of right now) and I don't actually have a missing tooth plus the smoking thing was true, I hate cigarettes. I'm much cuter to, jus sayin. Haha

I could post some pics up and one of you could edit whichever would be a better profile picture for me?
