Last edited by MissBlue; 05-04-2011 at 04:51 PM. Reason: ok, web URL works, but not my own FB pics - and still no profile pic.... HMMMMMMM
ok i give up. upload of profile pic keeps failing even though I resized down to LESS than 100 X 100 pixels. i'll come back and revisit this another time....
eta: ok got it.... it was the avatar i wanted, not the profile pic.....

Thanks for the new screen saver Liz.
Hey Sprat! Beautiful picture!
Thanks for the ticker factory link, Ohliz
This is definitely a fancy new BB... I like it but it will take a while to get used to.
How did you guys post those pictures? do I have to upload all my pics into a photobucket account first and then post the address?
Carpe Diem
i tried two pics, only the 2nd one worked - i think the first one did not work because i was copying the URL from my FB pictures, and since i changed over to the "secure" FB page, it wouldn't allow it....

There is no need to upload photos to another site first - you can do it, but you can also upload them directly. Here is what is in the FAQ section above:
How do I attach a file to a post?
To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.
On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments. You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page. Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.
To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file. To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page. Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.
Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window. You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
What files types can I use? How large can attachments be?
In the attachment window you will find a list of the allowed file types and their maximum sizes. Files that are larger than these sizes will be rejected. There may also be an overall quota limit to the number of attachments you can post to the board.
How do I add an image to a post?
If you have uploaded an image as an attachment, you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list. This will be inserted into your post and can be located where you want it displayed.
To include an image that is not uploaded as an attachment and is located on another website, you can do so by copying the full URL to the image, (not the page on which the image is located), and either pressing the 'Insert Image' icon or by typing [img] before the URL and [/img] after it, ensuring that you do not have any spaces before or after the URL of the image. You can insert pictures from your albums (?)
