picture in my profile

Hi:

I am wondering why the picuture in my profile does not come up when I post. It appears to be within the allowable size limits. Your kind help is greatly appreciated.

Your profile picture comes up when you click your name. I see your picture there. The picture that comes up by your name in a post is called an "avatar", and is a different upload. Click "My Controls" at the top of the page for all your options, including pictures, personal information and your email preferences.

I'm not completely sure but I think you are confusing the picture in your profile with your avatar. When I click on your profile, I do indeed see your picture - in fact the very picture you have posted. You don't appear to have an avatar uploaded. That would be the little picture that shows up under your name on all your posts.

For your avatar, your picture must be smaller. Go to "My Profile" (and of course I mean go to YOUR profile, not mine!) and at the top of the page click on "My Controls". Then look at the left-hand side of the screen where you will see a list, look for "Edit Avatar" and that is where you upload your avatar. It must be fairly small. Mine is 90 pixels by 90 pixels. Upload a file of the correct size and there you are! Your avatar will now show up whenever you post.

Thank you so much for the information.
