pictures!

[10.5" RES Sharon]

There don't seem to be any instructions on how to put pictures into BG. I'm trying to crop and put a picture of the fish I caught in the spot to the left of my name. Other people do this with no help, but not me.

click on "settings" at the top right of the page and it takes you to your profile information where there is an upload window for the profile picture. It's first thing in the list.

Doesn't work, but thanks for trying

Hi Sharon,

Tom's advice was correct and it should work. You also shouldn't have to crop or otherwise mess with the size unless you just want to remove what you are cropping out. Tell us what steps you take and what happens just before you sling the computer across the room.

Ok, where it says Upload a photo, I can click on browse, nothing happens. I can try to type in the name of the photo, it won't let me type. I guess I just don't know what to do there since it says Upload a photo, but doesn't upload it. I have put the photo in the "latest activity" column once, but that's not where I wanted it to go. Also, it does need to be cropped as the fish can't be seen.

Sharon, I've got to leave right now but I will keep thinking. Maybe someone else will figure it out in the mean time. Is your photo saved as the file type listed, jpeg, gif or png?

ok. I don't know what type of computer you have but i have a dell vista. Now you go under where your profile picture will be, then under there it says different things like where you live and stuff then under that it says... "Manage My Page or Photo"...Click that and you should see..."Profile", "Privacy", "Email", and "My Page"...click on profile. Then click "browse". You should get a small window (or a full window) depends on what your settings are. Then on the left hand side, it should say..."documents, music, pictures, public, recently changed, searches, recent places, desktop, computer" (or my computer). or a diferent window. on mine i have hardrives with my pics on them so i go to computer and click all photos and click a folder i want and chose pics (depends if you have them in a folder). It might be different on yours though. Or make a folder in "My Computer" (or Computer) whichever you have and just put pics in it. Then click on a pic you want (if i remember correctly) and doubble click the pic you want and it should close. Then at the botom of the page it says save. Then click that and your done. (if you need this to be shorter please ask in an email.)
