Coloured circles around smilie next to user name???

[JMN2017]

Simple question, I hope. Would someone explain the significance of the coloured circles around the smilie next to user names, please?

I just can't work this out. Is it to do with the number of posts made, or how long the user has been registered, or maybe what day of the week joined

I'm assuming there is some relevance ...

Many thanks

Hi JMN2017. The coloured circles just appear when you first register. Don't think they have any significance...just random...unless anybody knows any different 😄

[JMN2017 in reply to Foggyme]

Thanks, Foggyme

Shame we couldn't choose our favourite colour then. I'm not a fan of green. Just love purple, though !!!

Maybe I'll have to repeatedly register until I get a colour I like ... Only joking, of course Ha Ha Ha

If you upload your own picture, you can have any colour(s) you like. And not just a cartoon face with a coloured border.

Do this from your profile.

helvella

Thanks. I just love that idea.

Will do it sometime soon

Many thanks

[JMN2017 in reply to JMN2017]

helvella or anyone

Can you help, pls? I can't work out how to upload my own picture.

I've have been to 'Edit Profile' but see no indication where/how. Help search said to hover etc but nothing happened

I'm stuck ...

Many thanks

Towards the top left I see my image - and over it is a label saying "Upload Image" - slowly flashing (actually, more disappearing than flashing). Click on that and browse to your image file.

JMN2017,

Thanks helvella & Clutter

Wow, Impressively fast response.

Now sorted BUT doesn't seem to work on Firefox! That's why I couldn't see any upload option. Opened page in IE and there it was

Administrators: Gambit62 & fbirder etc

Maybe worth adding it to the page Clutter linked in post above that uploading image / header not available if using Firefox.

Thanks guys

The functionality being used isn't actually related to this forum - I'll try and draw the problem to the attention of the HU technical support on another forum but would suggest that you actually use the help centre to report it as a technical problem

[JMN2017 in reply to Gambit62]

Thanks Gambit62

Yes, I'll do that.

Didn't appreciate that was the way to go

Hopefully, others may find it useful to know that Firefox doesn't do it at the current time

Many thanks

[Gambit62 Administrator in reply to JMN2017]

I've mentioned this post in reporting it as a technical fault so may be worth double checking the version of firefox you are using and mention that

[JMN2017 in reply to Gambit62]

Yes, thanks Gambit62

As posted to Clutter , I'm using latest version (64-bit) but could be anything in the software on my PC, of course.

Pleased to hear it could be only me. I'll let the Help desk know, though.

Sorry for all the trouble I've caused

[helvella in reply to JMN2017]

I use Firefox! I do not know what you see if you have never uploaded your image. I did that so long ago, I have forgotten - and it might have changed.

[JMN2017 in reply to helvella]

Hi helvella

Thanks

Yes, it could be something in the FF updates that's changed, of course. It's not a problem, once knowing that FF may not do it, so just use an alternative.

As Gambit suggests, I'll notify the Help desk.

Thanks again

[Clutter in reply to JMN2017]

JMN2017,

I'm using the latest version of FFox and the upload options appeared for me.

[JMN2017 in reply to Clutter]

Umm. Just checked and I'm using 52.0.1 so, in theory, should be the same. Maybe something in my PC or Win 10

Thanks for the vote of confidence, though

[Clutter in reply to JMN2017]

I'm using WIN10 too.

[JMN2017 in reply to Clutter]

Clutter

Probably something on my PC!!! I'll have to check it out on my laptop - also Win 10 and FF 52.0.1

Not sure whether laptop 32 or 64 bit but will check that too.

Many thanks

[Clutter in reply to JMN2017]

JMN2017,

I wouldn't worry about it. You're a vision in purple now, as you wanted

[JMN2017 in reply to Clutter]

He He He

Yes, just a tad purple now
