Hi Selene and Kernos,

I just posted to a member who used her own picture as her avatar:

Hi Taran,

It's so nice to see your smiling face! I wish more of us posted our pics - for me, it makes such a difference when I can connect the posted personality to the actual image!

Selene and Kernos, Is there a way for members of OBOD to post our pictures, if we choose, so that other OBOD members may see them? probably just for OBOD members to view?

Hi Donata,

You could start a "mugshots" thread in, say, the OBOD General Discussion. Those who want to post their pics there could do so.

There is also a mod for the board, that will allow people to upload pictures directly to the board from their computer. It will even resize them to a maximize size.

We are planning to add a subforum mod which is a major job.

All this will probably not happen till after the holidays and will probably require some testing.

LOL! Saki, the person the avatar represents! My avatar is a pic of ME, the actual real ME. That's what/who I meant! <G>

If I start a thread in OBOD discussion, how does anyone upload a picture of themselves? or am I the only one who doesnt get it?????

Donata,
If you don't have your own website, you can go to Image Shack and upload your picture there. You'll be offered a series of links to try to see what works the best, but if you pick the one that says, "Hotlink a clickable thumbnail on a forum or message board! (Use this link first)," I think it will work and that you can get a photo that people can view small (to save download time) or click to enlarge if they have faster connections. But check the preview before you hit send, just in case!

OK, sounds too complicated - it was just a thought - I doubt members would go thru all of that.
I liked the NOBOD member pages where we posted bio info and pics, if we wished. It made the elists, NOBOD, etc., more personal.

Thanks anyway for all the info.

Donata, if you'll start this thread over in OBOD General, I'll post a photo.
