How do you get those nice pictures next to your username, I feel left out.

Go to my website (click on link below) and click on the Albumrofile-Pics section.
You will find the instructions there.

Many thanks boatone. I have done all that but my pic doesn't seem to appear. Does it take some time?

Easy way to get pic. Is to paste this into the user options page. Then press the button at the bottom.

err....tried, Help!!

OK. Opened picture in MSPhoto Editor, resized to 75x49, uploaded to arweb & lo 'n behold there it is. Click on it and it does not expand like the others. Load the url onto ybw profile, check it out and it is out of proportion and blurred. What did I do wrong? 'Mayfly'. http://www.arweb.co.uk/aralbums/album08/Mayfly.thumb.jpg

"I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul."..........I think????

Re: err....tried, Help!!

Should be 75 high by 65 wide.
Just checked your pic on my website and your pic actually 75 wide by 35 high - hardly surprising its a bit blurry when its distorted by the ybw forum to fit 65w x 75h !!!!

Find a pic you like, right click your mouse, select copy.
Go into your user file and put it in the click the piccy bit, left click your mouse, select paste.
Apply and away you go. May I suggest something naked, female and below the age of 30!

Re: err....tried, Help!!

When I edit the picture, a height of 75 equals a width of 161 to keep the proportions right. What next?

"I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul."..........I think????

 

[boatone]

Re: err....tried, Help!!

You need to find a pic which is the right ratio, or at least close. You could try putting up the 75 x 161 and see if the distortion is acceptable.

Re: err....tried, Help!!

As you can see. Picked a different pic, cropped & resized, but it still doesn't look too good. Am I expecting to much from a thumbnail this size? Could you delete the first 2?
