richforman Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I figured I'd add my current FB profile pic as an avatar here. What's a simple way to do this? I have it downloaded to my computer as a jpeg, but it's not hosted on a web site or anything, and the Update Profile page here only seems to let you enter a URL rather than browse to and upload a pic from my computer as I would for fb. How to do this if you don't have a web site? Thanks guys.

Markay Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Get an account with a free image hosting site like photpbucket, upload the image (jpeg) sized to fit, copy the URL that photobucket gives for that pic into your profile.

El Lobo Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Too much trouble. Other fora I'm on let me upload a pic. Find an image on the web that you would like to be your avatar and use that url. That's what many here have done. I use a pic of someone who kinda looks like me. It's Bob Seger. These are only my opinions, not supported by any actual knowledge, experience, or expertise.

richforman Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Thanks Markay, I'll give that route a try. Worth the trouble because it'll keep me from having to actually focus on my job for a few more minutes!

richforman Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 It worked! Thanks again for the assist Markay. This was from a gig of mine a few weeks ago and besides my thinking it a good enough pic to make my fb profile pic for a while, there are a couple things about it that are somewhat interesting to me. It's different in several ways from my standard rig. For one thing, my Yamaha MOXF8 is in the shop so I temporarily have been subbing in my spare, second Fantom X7 as the "bottom board" so that I am using two X7's as my rig now, wonder if anyone else has done that before. Also, this was the first gig in my 30+ years of playing where I decided to bring in and set up a third keyboard (bought the third tier for my Spider Pro again with some guidance from a fellow forum member here). You can hardly see it but I have my VR09 perched atop the two X7's. I did this specifically for just two songs in the set that night, "Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" and "Rosanna", both of which had just so many sounds/parts/lines I wanted to try to cover, that I wanted the third board to do it justice.

Reezekeys Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 postimage.org makes it pretty easy after you upload your photo & specify it as "family safe", you then can tell it to automatically resize for various online places (email, web, forums, etc). It will also generate the code to use it in a forum message here just cut & paste. Of course when they go out of business or decide to start charging, all your pics disappear from your posts! That happened to me with a previous service whose name I've forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
