Profile pics on TheSite - have you added one?

If not, we'd really love you to. This doesn't have to be your face, it could be something similar to your avatar, or something else abstract/symbolic that tickles your fancy.

The reason this is a cool thing to do is because with the new homepage (see other thread) is that when threads are promoted, if we tag your thread, then it pulls through the profile pic too. Check out Emmalee's on the homepage :) Looks much nicer than the grey boxes and brings the community to life.

Let us know your thoughts :thumb:

    I tried to use the chat avatar, but it came back with a message saying upload of the file failed. I don't know what I'm doing wrong :chin:

    Hmm - attach it to here and I'll give it a go for you...

    I'm probably being incredibly stupid, but how on earth do I upload a profile picture?

    You know at the top of the boards you can see your name, notifications, my profile, settings... Click on settings, the profile picture stuff is in a module on the left hand side.

    I tried it again and it still said upload failed, but it's there now :confused:

    You can use the image URL to add the picture to your account, rather than uploading it from your computer.

    Try copying the URL from the above link, BRE, and then go back to 'Upload profile picture page'

    http://vbulletin.thesite.org/profile.php?do=editprofilepic


    Inserting the image in the first option, give it a go!

    Thanks Angel.
    I did use the url, not sure why I got that message but my profile picture is there.

    I had an old one. I put a new one (with Octi!) when I saw this thread.

    I had the same message when I uploaded the book club picture, seems to be a randomly occurring glitch!
