Profile banner and other things.

Wow. You folks are stylish!

 

[SilentSoul]

Interesting.

 

[Matrix]

You all figured it out, great! I added one too.

 

[Lewkat]

It's just like your background picture on your facebook page. Makes your profile more attractive.

plenty of grass for the kitty to gnaw on.

To add to what @MarciKS said, I do wish that members who haven't specified their general location would do so ... it would contribute so much to the conversation!

I completely agree. Is there a way to encourage that?

 

[Devi]

I'd guess just to say something about it.

Nice, now we look like Facebook.

 

[Lewkat]

Nice, now we look like Facebook.

Actually, we are better looking.

I haven’t seen a place for asking for gender.

Oops. Just reread. You were talking about general location. Guess I could amend N of 49. Canadians know that this means western Canada. Heck, maybe eastern Canadians aren’t as familiar with the term

At first I thought it meant Alaska - as in north of the other 49 US states. Then you said something about Canada so I figured, again, that it was north of the 49 US states, but not north of Alaska, meaning somewhere in Canada.

We have something else to play around with ... lol .. I like the ones that have been posted so far.

Actually it means ‘North of the 49th parallel’.

I always thought Western Canada was British Columbia. Learn something new everyday.

Thanks for the heads-up on the profile banner, just added mine.

 

[SeaBreeze]

What's facebook? Like your banner Bonnie!

 

[SeaBreeze]

I don't know what a profile banner is about. What do you put in the space.

@Sassycakes , I just went to my Profile page and clicked to add Profile Banner. I used a camping photo I had on my computer and just uploaded it like an avatar or image.

 

[MarciKS]

I'm more concerned about what gender they are. I don't like not knowing what I'm speaking to. It's awkward.

 

[MarciKS]

@Matrix Where did our next button go in Latest posts?

 

[Devi]

@MarciKS re gender ... does anyone know where we could specify this?

There's a place when you sign in that says you have to enter it but I saw a new member without any gender the other day. I think that should be mandatory. Male...Female...Other?

I'm not so much concerned about where their from. A general idea is enough. And I understand the safety issues with giving a location too.

 

[Devi]

@MarciKS -- I looked in my profile, which had Female checked ... but it doesn't display at or near the Location area. That would seem to be a logical place to display it. Wonder how to get that to display?

 

[PopsnTuff]

Tried many different pics but they all look blurry (????)....gonna keep trying....

May need to resize. I find 800 x 400 works good.

Re the gender thing -- maybe it's a politically correct issue and thus more hassle than it's worth?

Anyway, I'm a female.
