Personal Photo

A personal photo is a 60x60 pixel image that expresses your unique identity when you post on an ezboard. Once you’ve uploaded yours, it will be seen anytime a user clicks through to your profile and under your user name when you post. Related topics include Custom Signature and Personal Icon.

Key Information

• Not all ezboards allow Personal Photos. It is up to the admin at the community to decide if you will be able to show your Personal Photo in your posts.
• · In the past users were able to add a height and width attribute HACK to a Personal Photo URL to increase the size. With the 7.0 release, this is no longer possible. For your Personal Photo to show in your Public Profile and in a Community Profile, you must remove these attributes from the URL.

User: How to use Personal Photo as a User

1. Log in to your Control Center and click the Edit Profile link.
2. Under My Photo, type in or paste the URL to the photo that you wish to use (jpg or gif format no larger than 60x60 pixels is recommended). In order to use the photo you must have it on a web server or stored somewhere on the web so you can link to it. Do NOT attempt to add size attributes to the URL - this will cause your personal photo link to break. Click on the Save Changes button.
