Click on your name and then scroll down and choose Profile.Jakealdrich5 wrote: ↑October 23rd, 2018, 8:45 pm Hi, I'm having trouble trying to find out how to add a profile pic. Could maybe one of ya'll help me out?
Then you will see and select Edit Profile.
Select Edit Avatar.
I used the Browse function, have your pic ready in a folder, find it and select it, click Open.
Should then load if it is not too big. If it is too big you may need to edit it down to size.

Re: Help with profile picture.
No matter what I try I'm unable to post an avatar. Even small thumbnails won't post and I'm unable to open the gallery. Am I required to have a certain number of post before I can have an avatar? Maybe it's my computer?

Re: Help with profile picture.
Are you seeing these options?

Re: Help with profile picture.
Be super careful what you choose as an avatar, as there are a couple people on LDSFF who actually believe you worship whatever your avatar is.

The file size needs to be compressed below 31 Kib.

How'd you know my avatar was Japanese?!EmmaLee wrote: ↑March 17th, 2021, 3:50 pmYes, especially those!BeNotDeceived wrote: ↑March 17th, 2021, 2:40 pm

(yes I love sharing worthless info about Land Cruisers and about Toyota)
It means 'Toyota' but is written in their native Katakana written language. So to us Americans it looks like 'teq'.
"Katakana is a Japanese syllabary, one component of the Japanese writing system along with hiragana, kanji and in some cases the Latin script (known as rōmaji).
To spell “Toyota” in Katakana, you have to use 3 characters that make the combined sounds: To, Yo, and Ta. Those are actually the characters that you see in what we mistakenly translate into English as t, e, and q." https://www.theoldcruiser.com/general/w ... logo-mean/

Re: Help with profile picture.
Go to https://www.resizepixel.com/reduce-image-in-kb. Click upload image. Choose image from desktop or downloads. On the left hand side there are options. Go to crop first. You have a bunch of aspect ratio selections. Once your selection is made, hit "crop". Next go over to resize. Resize your image down to about 300x300 or less. If your image is not a square, resize it down to 300 on the width. Hit "resize". Now go to compress. Choose 29 or 28 KiB. Then hit "compress". In the bottom right corner, there is the "go to download" button. Click on it. Now hit the "download" button in the bottom left corner.harp master wrote: ↑March 17th, 2021, 4:25 pmAlexander wrote: ↑March 17th, 2021, 3:53 pmThe file size needs to be compressed below 31 Kib.

Now go to your profile on LDSfreedomforum. Hit "edit profile". On the left hand side select "edit avatar". On avatar type, select "upload avatar", and then go down below to "choose file". A window will pop up. The image you want to upload should be in your downloads, and from there you may select your image. Choose for upload, and then hit "submit" when done.
