Profile Pic Problem

[chuckinsocal]

Hi Gang,

I've been trying to upload a profile pic but when I do the pic is in my profile section but it also shows up as a gallery right in the middle of my real galleries. I delete the gallery but it also deletes the photo and I have no profile pic again. It's like a catch 22.

What am I doing wrong here? :dunno

Thanks.

OK, I got it partly figured out. I uploaded the pic to my misc gallery and clicked on the "The is Me" thing so it's showing in my profile properly on my home page.

But, it's still a photo in the gallery and I didn't intend for it to be a gallery photo, only a bio photo. How do I fix that?

Thanks.

Chuck -
If you're using the smugmug bio to display a photo, that photo has to remain in a gallery. If you mark the gallery as private (customize gallery, security & privacy section, mark the gallery as public no) it will not show up unless you explicitly give someone the URL. You will see it when logged in, but it won't be visible as a gallery to be clicked/selected.

If you have a power or pro account and you want to link to a bio from a navbar, you can use a regular gallery for that (as opposed to the bio). For example, if you go to my page you will see a navbar entry called "about". That leads to a private gallery (it's explicitly linked, so it is visible through that navbar entry) that I use for my bio.

You're very helpful. So what I'll do is move it into it's own gallery then mark that gallery as private so it's hidden from the public. Makes sense to me.

Thanks again for your help.
