Hello!

I am having problems to set a profile photo.... I can't either upload one or use a link... The last one I tried to upload was 29 KB and it still said it was too big.
And the links I use are from a flickr account but all I see is a box with a question mark as the picture...
Can anyone help me?

I have used photobucket.com They let you resize the photos. And it is easy to link to.

Thank you for that Heidi.
I tried photobucket, but it is still not working for me.... Is it just me who can't see the picture?!

Not just you. I see the dreaded blue question mark.
I have also been having trouble loading pictures in general.
I have a mac. What are you working from??

[RhodieMom]

I am on a Mac myself.... Do you think that is the problem? What did you do to make it work?

I had trouble with Photobucket until I subscribed to the deluxe version.  I use a PC.  I think there must be easier ways of uploading photographs.  Have you tried Flickr or one of the others.

I had no issues until this summer. And everything done prior to that remains. Recently it has been very hit and miss and I haven't changed anything in my methods.

[RhodieMom]

Interesting.... well, I will just keep on trying and let my bf take a look at it.
Thank you for your help

I'm not sure anyone can see the photo.
I know I can't.
And I even tried editing the way you had your photo posted...still didn't work.
are u using the Insert Image button on our forum?  It is the second button from the left on the 2nd row above.
Additionally I've had to work with the links in Photobucket to use only the one that says for Forums. 
Sorry.  that's all the ideas I have.   

If someone figures it out please post in our FAQs area about How to post photo if you have MAC

[RhodieMom]

Yes I have tried the post image button but it doesn't work 

[RhodieMom]

I could try a photobucket account....
Thank you for your help!!!!

OK one more try with photobucket 

[melissap]

Bingo!

in your photo bucket account, you can set all pics you upload to be sized consistently too (I think the setting is 640 x ).

Nice shot of you and your Ridgeback.
