System in use Windows XP.
Windows7 is very similar.


An error you may come across -

Sorry, the photo you are uploading is too large. Please reduce it to less than 2100 x 2100 pixels.

So, you need to resize your image to be 2100w by 2100h.

Please take the following steps:

1. Click on the photo you wish to resize.
2. Right click, then move the cursor over 'open with' and then click on 'paint'.
3. The next step is to resize your photo to do this click on word 'Image' on the top of Paint and select 'Attributes', you now see the attributes windows open. The first thing you need to check is that the 'Units' are set to 'pixels' if they aren't please click on the dot beside the word pixels to select it.
4. You will also see the width and height settings for your photo, please change these to something below 2100w x 2100h. Once you have changed this click the 'OK' button.
5. Then you need to save the resized image.

Remember to save your new image under a different title; you don't want to over-write your original photo.

6. Click on 'File' and select 'Save as' on the menu. You will now see the 'Save as' box please change the 'File name' and select JPEG as the 'Save as type' and click on the 'Save' button.

This photo will show on the homepage when you are logged in and also as a thumbnail within the chat-rooms.

Ensure that your photo is in a public album and not a private album.

Please note no adult photos will set as a main profile photo, these include genitalia or anal photos as these photos are visible to non-members of Swing4Ireland some of which maybe under the age of 18.

1.Click on the manage button under the photo you want to set.
2.Click on set as profile photo.
3.That's it, you are done thumbup.gif.

1.Firstly find the image and ensure it is not minimized, so click on the photo to enlarge it and then right click on it.

2.Scroll down the list and click on 'view image info'.

3.The line that is highlighted in blue, right click and then click copy. Note all of these lines should end with jpg or gif.

4.Within the thread you want to post this photo, you will see 'Img' click on this and paste the photo information that you copied.

5.Then click on 'Img' again to close off the photo, a lot of people tend to forget to do this.

6.Then you just need to post your comment or thread and you will see the photo.

There are several reasons for this, but you will receive an email giving you an explanation as to why it was not approved or why it is not visible to you.
