Alex, one more post and you’ll be a “valued friend”.  I broke it down at:

Newbie 0-10 posts
New friend 11-30
Valued friend 31-100
Old timer - more than 100.

I can live with that.
Will it begin displaying my picture when i get to ‘New friend’ status?

Hi Vansig,

I’ve configured it to show avatars, not photos.  I thought people would be more inclined to use an avatar than a picture, being that many people are not ready for self disclosure.

I suppose I could set it up to show a picture if there was no avatar pic, but there was a photo.

It’ll take me a while to get to that.  For now, just use your picture as your avatar and it will show up.

Actually, clicking on your name and visiting your profile, I see your photo looks more like an avatar.  Is that really you?

Aha! got it. this will do. thanks

An appropriate sized picture uploads and displays correctly if it has a .png or .gif file extension. However a .jpg does not display correctly - gives a tiny picture top left - suggest removing that option.

What browser/OS are you using?

Also, just tested it.  Maybe you need to refresh?

Hi Rezwan - Am using IE8.
I just re-looked at the images and maybe I got the scaling wrong for the jpg, picture correct but canvas too big - sorry to waste your time.

Not at all.  Glad it’s working for you.
