ANSWERS

How do I add or change my main image (avatar)?
Select Edit, next to My Profile. Then click Update Photo.
After you click Update Photo, you have two choices:
To upload an avatar from the DailyStrength gallery, click on the avatar you like, then click the Done button.
To use your own avatar, click the Browse button, and select an image from your computer. Then click the "Upload Avatar Image" button. You will now see your personal avatar with a dotted line box over it. This is your selection box, so that you can choose which part of the image you would like as your avatar. Move your mouse cursor anywhere inside the box, then hold down your mouse key and drag the image to make your selection. You can also change the size of the box by moving your cursor to the corner until your cursor arrow becomes diagonal. Now click and hold your mouse button, then move your cursor diagonally to resize the box. You will see a small version of how your avatar will look below. Once you have made your choice, click the Done button.

How do I add photos or other images to my Photos
Go to My Profile, scroll down to Photos and click Add Photo. Or from your Home page, click Add Photos.

How do I change privacy settings for a photo?
Go to your Photos page and click EDIT under the photo you'd like to change. On the following page, choose from EVERYONE, JUST MY FRIENDS, or JUST ME and then SAVE.

How do I delete a photo?
Go to your Photos page, and select Remove underneath the photo.

How many photos can I add?
You can add up to 100 of your favorite photos (maximum file size is 1.5MB) to your My Photos section and share them with other members. Sharing photos with other members is a great way for them to get to know you better. Large photos will be resized to a maximum of 600 pixels.

What kind of image formats can I use?
You can add GIF and JPEG formats to your DailyStrength Photos section.

What do I need to do to make sure my avatar looks its best?
Start with an avatar that is in a vertical 4:5 "portrait" format (imagine taking a picture with your camera turned on its side) and approximately 160x200 pixels. Square or horizontal "landscape" images will require more cropping and might not give you the best results. An image that is smaller than 160x200 will automatically be enlarged to fit, sometimes giving you a fuzzy or "pixelated" image. If the image is too narrow, either too tall or too wide, cropping will be difficult and your image will suffer.

Where do I report an offensive photo?
Write us, and include a brief description and the member's name.

Why do I see two avatars sometimes in the Recent Activity section?
When you see two avatars with an arrow between them, it indicates that the member who has the avatar on the left communicated (for instance gave a hug) with the member who has the avatar on the right.
