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?

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
