Personal Picture Change

I tried (a few months ago and now again) to change the personal picture that appears by my name on the screen (I do not have one uploaded). I went to My Controls, Edit Personal Photo (or something like that), Browse, found the picture I liked but it always says that the picture is too big, something about bytes and pixels (advanced chinese to me), and I do not know how to fix that. Any ideas?

Hi Mariela,

You need to go to My Controls and to "Edit Avatar Settings"--that will allow you to upload your picture. You may have to crop it to make it fit.

I have found success in opening my pictures in paint, and then making the picture smaller from there. I haven't had much success in cropping them. I'm sure there's an easier way, but I have a tendency to do things that hard way... ;)

It works though.

Paint can be used to resize, and also to crop. You can only crop on the bottom and right, but you can rotate the image 180 degrees, crop the "right" and "bottom" and then rotate another 180 degrees to accomplish cropping on all four sides. It is a bit cumbersome, but it works, and Paint comes free with Windows.

You only need to shrink enough to get under the byte limit; the upload will then automatically resize the larger dimension to 150 pixels while keeping the aspect ratio (relative height to width).

If you open with Microsoft Picture Manager, click on edit pictures, then compress, and then pick your size. You can crop, also.

Does it take a while to change? I tried to change mine earlier today, it has the correct photo in "my controls" but in my posts, it's the old photo. I changed the photo to make sure it fit the parameters. It's always worked for me in the past...

I uploaded my first photo, it said it was ok but it's still not showing. Are there certain qualifications i have to have (so many posts, time as a member)?

No minimum post number. It might be that the picture you tried to load was too big. It's supposed to say something like "upload successful, transferring you or click here if you don't want to wait". Did it give you a message, or just send you back to your control page?

I received some kind of message that lead me to believe it worked. I know when i tried a different pic it didn't do anything so i thought it must be too big. i then cropped it down and it seemed to work. when i look at it in my controls the picture is there.

a "personal photo" only shows on your profile. If you want the picture to show above your name when you post it has to also be loaded as an avatar. Could that be the problem?

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
