User Profiles

**Hierophant** · Jul 10, 2001, 17:09

We want to get to know you. As such I would like to recommend that everyone review your public profile and make sure it is up to date.

Not only can we get to know more about you from your profile but starting today we can see you as well.

Starting now you can include your own profile photo. This can be picture of yourself or a screenshot of your website. All the community guidelines apply i.e. no pornography or hatred or other illegal matter.

The image should scale well to 150 X 170 as these dimensions will be hardcoded for your image. Also it will need to be stored on your server space for the time being. Since it will be stored remotely this does mean you can use a webcam URL for your photo. Just make sure it is appropriate

.

Properly done, your profile tells us a lot about you and your business. It can also tell potential clients about your business as well.

Can't wait to see you all. Simply edit your profile by going to:

You can see mine by going to:

I put a more recent picture of me up on my profile. The only problem is that it's stretched quite a bit vertically. Maybe it would be best to use 140x90 or something similar so that the aspect ratio (4:3) of most digital cameras is retained? Sure, we could all go in and scale our pics, but it just seems easier for everyone...

Just a thought...

[edit] Ok, I fixed my vertical stretching problem. I pasted my pic into Photoshop (640x480) and resized the canvas to 750x850. After adding borders and some color, I resized the image to 150x170. So now it looks normal.

Sparkie, the link you posted doesn't work. It asks for a login name and password. I think it's down to the www. being left out of the URL but am not sure. Just letting you know

**KeithMcL** · Jul 11, 2001, 01:22

OK, here's mine.

**Sparkie** · Jul 11, 2001, 05:20

It's the User Profile link i'm talking about (just to make sure we're talking about the same thing).

If you have never logged in from http://sitepointforums.com and instead always visit from http://www.sitepointforums.com then you might have to log in again.

It all depends on how your browser handles cookies and whether it includes the subdomain in the determination. There is really nothing I can do to fix this if your browser recognizes the two sites as different.

I personally access the forums both ways and have never had any problems.

**KeithMcL** · Jul 12, 2001, 01:12

Thanks for clearing that up for us Wayne, i'll login to the forums through http://sitepointforums.com also and see if that resolves my problem.

LOL, you should know that that is my profile, in stead of yours. I don't know where you got it, but I will be posting my picture soon as well.

Feels good being called a SitePoint Mentor though

The URL I used changes according to who the last poster of that thread is. At the time, it was me, so it originally went to my profile, but since you were the last poster, it was you. I have edited the link so it goes directly to mine no matter what.

**Saz** · Jul 16, 2001, 11:47

Woohoo....go away for a few days and come back to find something new to play around with!

Here's mine but it's an old pic (October last year). Will put a new one up when and if I get one!

Well my link worked for me when I did it!!! Don't know what I did wrong, but when I clicked it just now I got Studiococo's profile

**Anarchos** · Jul 16, 2001, 13:15

Get the URL from the profile button above your posts.

**Saz** · Jul 16, 2001, 13:22

Yeah I know I should have done that now! I realised what I did wrong....I called up my profile by clicking on my username from the 'last poster' column instead

You have to let me off here, ok. I've not long got back from Silverstone where I've spent the last 4 days sleeping (or not as the case may be) in a caravan after consuming copious amounts of wine, hence I'm not quite with it yet

**Aidan Bahta** · Jul 16, 2001, 14:43

Saz, Marc just did the same thing. That must have been a lot of sleep (or lack of it)

**Saz** · Jul 16, 2001, 14:47

I think it's definitely a 'lack of sleep' thing where I'm concerned, though I'm just about to make up for that - I've not long had a nice soak in the bath, so I'm feeling all relaxed and well and truly ready for my bed..............sleep glorious sleep, and not alcohol induced this time!

**James** · Jul 16, 2001, 23:00

LOL I'm a little tired as well - I also spent some time at Silverstone this weekend
