Title: Lost Profile picture (Avatar thingy ?)
Post by: surferboy on November 14, 2017, 12:29:24 AM
Bugger !
I know there is a way to change my profile pic because I've done it before
But I can't figure it out ???
Have resized photo and tried adding as upload my own photo
and tried adding resized pic by copying from photobucket for  I have my own pic
went from 3672x4896 6.46MB
to                316 x 424  105KB (usual size when I add pics to forum posts)
to teeny tiny  48 x 65  34.8 KB
have logged out and back in and hit the refresh thing and turned computer off and on

but I'm still stuck with a little black   x

 :( >:( :'(

I think the issue is with Photobucket & not what you are doing. Photobucket has changed their policy on using their site & basically want subscribers only. One option is to switch to Imgur (https://imgur.com/memegen). I found it easier to use & a lot faster than Photobucket without being bogged down with adds.

my photobucket seems to be one of the few that still works.
I haven't used it much for a while. so it might only be those who use it a lot that photobucket want to get money off
I can still add photos to posts and THANKFULLY they haven't deleted all my Nats Diary pics
but I will look at using other posting options before they do change stuff

I'm sure I usually change my profile pic directly from my photo files after resizing the picture to really small
but it isn't working. I guess I'm doing something wrong

or it is one of those stupid computer things where it just doesn't want to play nicely

PS. did I mention how much I hate computers !!!
