A while back it was said it might be fun to be able to have personal profile pictures attached to our posts. So I finally got around to programming this feature in. I experimented with lots of different ways of where exactly to place the picture. I tried putting it in the blue bar above (where the user-name, location and date/time of post is stated) but that made for a HUGE blue bar, I just didn’t like the way it looked. I tried moving the blue bar over to the left side of the screen and had the posting on the right, but I found that when 1000 pixel wide pictures were uploaded it caused users with smaller screen resolutions to have horizontal scroll bars and I would like to avoid that if all possible. So I tried having it at the start of the post like a capital big letter. I like that the best so far as it adds white space and cleans things up a bit but I will probably keep experimenting with different formats as time permits.
You can upload your profile picture by going to the Discuss-o-Mat home page and clicking on the [UPDATE MY PROFILE] link. You can use large pictures (up to 1.5mb) and the system will automatically resize your picture down to 100 pixels. You can still click on the picture to see the full size image if you wish. So go ahead and try it out, let me know if something seems buggy as it usually is with new stuff.
I only ask two things with your profile pictures, no copyright issues and no naughty pictures please, otherwise anything goes. It would be nice to see a picture of the person who is posting, but some are shy and might just want to show their favorite washer or other toy. By the way, if you change your profile picture down the line, all of your previously posted profile pictures will change automatically in one big sweep.
Questions, comments?
My work is done, ***hand on back head**** for now
