Profile pic gone *poof*

[Rhinerah]

I set up this account yesterday, filled out all the fields etc. I uploaded a profile pic as well as creating one album for my profile. Now, when I go to the user settings, I no longer have access to these options at all. HELP! I feel so.. anonymous! ;)

Hi!

I am sorry that there are no profile pictures any longer; they were one part of the forum that was sacrificed to speed it up.

However, we have avatars; that is what the pictures that appear with a name are called. You can upload one if you go to User CP at the top left, then drop down until you come to "edit avatar". You can upload directly from your computer and change your picture as often as your like.

PS: To post pictures in your threads, you'd best register with free uploading website http://photobucket.com. You can set your account on photobucket to private now if you wish. Once uploaded there, you only have to copy/paste the IMG code that comes with every picture directly into the thread. To check whether it is working, make use of your "preview post" button underneath every post.

Thank you for the heads up on the avatar! I thought I had gone loony! *phew*
