FAQ: how do I get one of those pictures under my name on my posts?

Thanks for your reply Jeannine but the photo is upright, it becomes lopsided only when I post in on VF.

sorry if i am not helping you - i've never had that problem, so i am just guessing what the problem may be.

just to be sure, your avatar must already be in the upright position when you open the file. for example, if you open it, and it's sideways, and then you uploading it, it will only load it the way it was saved, not how you are viewing it using whatever you're using to view it (office, photo viewer, etc.).

also,photo must be 175 x 150 pixels or smaller. not sure if VF software does this, but some photo uploads automatically shrink the photo so that it will fit.

your Eiffel Tower might be too tall? could that be it?

i remember when i tried uploading my photo, i had trouble uploading it even after i made sure it was 175x150 pixels. i saved a number of versions of it on my computer before VF software finally took it.
