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 · « **Reply #5 on:** October 25, 2010, 09:49 AM »

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.

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 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 28, 2010, 04:58 PM »

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

RhodieMom · « **Reply #11 on:** October 28, 2010, 04:59 PM »

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

RhodieMom · « **Reply #12 on:** October 28, 2010, 05:02 PM »

OK one more try with photobucket

melissap · « **Reply #13 on:** October 28, 2010, 05:13 PM »

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.

Thank you!!!
I'm happy I finally got it to work!

Keeper · « **Reply #15 on:** October 28, 2010, 05:36 PM »

Nice photo!!!
and glad this is working...Perhaps the mods need to post in the FAQs that this is what needs to be done to make it work for the Mac people.

Now you can post the photo into your Intro. And any additional photos into the Photo Gallery. Please read about the amount of photos uploaded into the Gallery.

2 or 3 of the very best of each event. As you may already know there are hundreds and hundreds of photos. We are the only RR site that allows this many photos for our members...but occassionally we weed though them and perge to make room for more.
A puppy photo and a new one or two each month is great. Keep the growth record going.

I would like to see the comparable code/link info for photobucket vs picassa. I already have a picassa account and don't have a photobucket. I hate scattering everything all over the place.

Those blue question marks..... If I right click and open in a new tab or window it sends me to the linked page.

Hi Sandra,

I would like to delete all the pictures in the topic "few pictures of my girl Dex," to help create more space on the forum for other members. Thanks!

George

Hi George!
You don't have to delete the photos.
We ask that when a member posts a new group of photos that they keep them to size and try to keep them under 5. It is because some members still have dialup and huge files makes it a longtime to load up. Thanks.
