| PICS: Profile Image Problems / Instructions to Upload
Posted: 9/14/2005 8:01:03 AM | How do I submit a picture?
1) Login to plentyoffish.com
2) Click on Images near the top of the page.
Uploading non-compliant images will result in your picture upload privileges
being revoked or your account deleted
3) Click the ‘Browse’ button in order to find your image on your disk/computer.
4) Once you’ve selected the image from your computer, you then have the option of having it appear on your profile publicly or privately – you can select this in the drop down menu.
5) Then click on the "UPLOAD NEW IMAGE" button.
6) Once the upload is complete, you will see the image on your list
7) Click on Update Image Settings at the bottom of the page and you're done.
8) If the image was in the process of uploading, and it did not complete - try again, if it still doesn't upload, try at a different time other than peak traffic times.
Important Note
If you've gone through steps 1-8 (scroll up)and you're still having difficulty - please tell us where in the process you experienced problems, or if there are any messages on the screen.
Simply telling us that you couldn't upload your picture doesn't help us much - It's like taking your car to the mechanic and telling him/her "My car won't go". Help us with a more descriptive post.
Please post any difficulties you are experiencing in this thread.
What are the guidelines for a profile picture?
Images must be in JPG, BMP or GIF format.
Images must NOT contain any nudity or offensive material.
Images must NOT contain cartoons or celebrities.
You can upload a maximum of 8 images.
If images are too large (4 MB+), they will not upload properly.
ALL pictures MUST contain you in it with a visible head shot at minimum
How do I delete an image?
To delete an image click on 'Delete Image' beside your photo.
How do I attach private/hidden pictures to my messages?
Once you’ve written your mail message you’ll see your photos displayed at the bottom of the screen. Simply check the boxes beside the photos you’d like to send and your message will contain whatever you’ve selected.
How do I get a picture on my computer?
Go to your local kinko's or whatever photo processing company is in your city and ask them to scan it in for you and email it to yourself. This will cost you about a $1.00
What if my photos are on a disk or in my email account?
Save the image from your disk or email account by 'right clicking' on the image with the mouse, clicking on save as, and save as a JPG image on your desktop; then proceed to upload your image to your plentyoffish.com account
Can we mail them in and have POF put it on our profile?
Sorry, we just don't have the resources to handle these requests.
What if there is no browse/upload button?
a) You have already uploaded a maximum of 8 images to your profile.
b) Your picture upload privileges have been revoked because you uploaded non-compliant images to your profile.
Why do I see some profiles with more than 8 pictures?
In early 2005, the limit was lowered from 16 to 8. Profiles with more than 8 got to keep them but can't add/change them. (Pics 9-16 can be deleted but can't be replaced)
Why was my picture deleted? There wasn't any nudity!
PoF's Terms of Service also limit the use of copyrighted images (including cartoons), and images 'borrowed' from the internet.
I have less than 8 pictures. Why can't I add more?
If pics were removed from your profile by the automatic system or manually by the administrator, your profile may have lost its picture-uploading privileges.
I still can't upload any Images. What else could be wrong?

Posted: 10/23/2005 10:18:48 AM | I have tried several times to post a picture from my files. I've tried two different sizes, and GIF and JPEG format, but it just won't work.
Is there another way to get it to the site?
Thanks,

I tried uploading it in GIF, have the same image in JPEG format, tried that too... can't find just JPG as an option to save under. I'm also about to take a hammer to my computer. 
Is there a way to e-mail it as an attachment? I know I can do that... my 'puter skills do give me that as one of a tiny handful of abilities... | |

Posted: 10/23/2005 10:41:37 PM | I tried sending a scaled-down BMP image, and it still sent me to the "page not found" circle of Dante's inferno... damned technology. 
I even turned off my Zone Alarm firewall for the transaction. Still nothin'. | |

Posted: 10/25/2005 8:30:28 AM | There's something seriously wrong with this site and uploading pics. I've tried for a week or so and it won't let me upload my jpeg images at all. brings me up to some blue screen with another browse button. I click on that one, it looks like it's uploading and then the same screen pops up. I've tried changing the format of the image/reducing size..etc - nothing.
Anyone else have the same problem. I was able to upload 1 pic few days back, with great struggle mind you.
What's wrong with this site?
Regards,
Monika | |

Posted: 10/25/2005 10:49:45 AM | | I've noticed some problems when the site is coming under load and the image upload is hanging. Try again a bit later. This could take a while to fix, as i need to buy another server and move everything over to it while i fix the other one. | |

Posted: 10/25/2005 5:23:41 PM | | Obviously, I got this squished-down pic to upload, but I've been trying to get a fuller-sized JPEG of the same pic to upload and it just won't get in before being timed out... I'll try again when I can borrow some time on a higher-speed line. | |
