Hi epiphany - it looks like your flickr account is linked correctly, so I'm going to have a look in the database and see if all is well there. I remember that there was a similar issue with another user a couple of months back that was caused by the initial flickr connection not sending through the right profile pic data, can you see what happens if you unhook your flickr account and re-add it back in? I'll let you know what I find from this end :) 2009-10-04T15:24:53Z false 12907 2736 2009-10-04T15:24:53Z 1 Woohoo...it's working now. Thanks heaps! Whatever you did must have worked :) 2009-10-04T21:00:57Z false 12915 2736 2009-10-04T21:03:17Z 9591 very stylish pic Epif! Hi Nic, could you please do the same thing for me as well, I'm on flickr also and have the same issue. Thanks 2009-10-04T21:13:12Z false 12916 2736 2009-10-04T21:13:12Z 7750 @epiphany : great to hear it's now working - I didn't change anything so it looks like it may have been a flickr gremlin that sorted itself out! @nyaka : I'll check out your flickr a/c and see if I can scare away the gremlins for you too :) I'll let you know how I go - in the meantime, if you could have a go at removing your flickr account from the settings page and re-adding it, that might do the trick. 2009-10-04T22:32:43Z false 12917 2736 2009-10-04T22:32:43Z 1 Woohoo, remove-readd worked a treat, I have my personalised pic now. Thanks Nic. 2009-10-06T16:41:39Z false 12957 2736 2009-10-06T16:41:39Z 7750 I'm having a similar problem with picasa web. i can find all images i put up but when changing my profile picture i only get one option (the one i don't want) maybe google is just dragging their heels as i have changed my picasa display picture. no biggie though 2009-10-13T13:30:16Z false 13057 2736 2009-10-13T13:30:16Z 11525 @ Hypo Mix- I think that is sort of what happens. Nic told me something like that. Something about the user pic is different from the other photos that you have uploaded. I would give it a day and see what happens. :) Mine did the same thing, but it finally came up and everything is fine. :) 2009-10-13T16:14:31Z false 13060 2736 2009-10-13T16:14:31Z 5779 Yeah, I still don't know exactly why it takes so long for some people's picasa profile pics to come through - I have a feeling it's something to do with the way that picasa's servers are set up. I just did a test link of your account and your profile pic appeared, so maybe give it another shot and see if it comes through now :) 2009-10-13T18:54:52Z false 13061 2736 2009-10-13T18:54:52Z 1 That last time it took my pic almost a full 24 hours to come through, nic. It may be tomorrow before it comes through for Hypo. :) 2009-10-13T18:59:30Z false 13062 2736 2009-10-13T18:59:30Z 5779 nothing yet, but i will give it at least 24hrs before retrying. the important point is we can blame google and not folia.com :P 2009-10-14T01:25:30Z false 13066 2736 2009-10-14T01:25:46Z 11525 I don't know much about websites, but I think it might have something to do with cookies. This summer I changed by pic and within about 24 hours, someone commented that they liked my new avatar, but it looked like my old one to me. It was a few days later that it switched for me. I am not sure if I did anything (like clearing my cookies or logging out of folia and logging back in). I know, no help. 2009-10-14T02:37:17Z false 13067 2736 2009-10-14T02:37:17Z 830 Actually that may not be such a bad idea, mcav0y. I have somewhat limited knowledge of that sort of thing, but it might work. It wouldn't hurt to try, Hypo. :) 2009-10-14T12:10:19Z false 13075 2736 2009-10-14T12:10:19Z 5779 Some of us (Finns) in Klorofylli-group are Photobucket-users and it seems impossible to upload an avatar through the Bucket. Other images yes, but no avatar. Puzzling... 2009-10-14T14:27:19Z false 13076 2736 2009-10-14T14:27:19Z 10589 no dice TR 2009-10-14T14:44:10Z false 13078 2736 2009-10-14T14:44:10Z 11525 wow!! I am so sorry to hear that. Here is one more idea. I first tried to add a pic of my husband and I as the user pic, but I have that album listed as private. It became my user pic just fine, but when Iooked for it on folia it didn't show up, so I changed it to one that was not listed as private. Are you certain that yours did not come from a private folder? I do not know if that makes a diff or not. Just a thought. 2009-10-14T14:47:24Z false 13080 2736 2009-10-14T14:47:24Z 5779 that was the first thing i tried. meh its no biggie, im sure i will work it out later. 2009-10-14T14:49:19Z false 13081 2736 2009-10-14T14:49:19Z 11525 I said the same thing when I was trying to figure out how to work the Photo Slurper. :) It'll work out. You do have me curious about what the new user pic is. :) 2009-10-14T14:51:30Z false 13082 2736 2009-10-14T14:51:30Z 5779 @Hypo_Mix - hmmm, that's no good :( I'll do a bit of investigation and see if there is anything we can do to convince your profile pic to come play with folia. @lenanen - unfortunately, Photobucket doesn't really have a concept of a profile picture so we can't currently link up with it on folia. The only thing I can suggest for now is to use gravatar for your profile picture - it's really easy to sign up and upload a picture, and it's recognised on all wordpress blogs too! Only thing is to make sure that you use the same email address as you used on folia, and your gravatar profile image should automagically appear on your photo accounts page next time you check. "Here is the signup form":http://www.gravatar.com/site/signup (and on "this page is a signin form":http://www.gravatar.com/ if you happen to be a wordpress user) Give me a shout if you have any problems getting this up and running - I'd be happy to help you out :) 2009-10-14T19:26:46Z false 13085 2736 2009-10-14T19:27:13Z 1 YEY! it finally changed! either thank you nic or about time google. PS: sorry TR the pic isn't that exciting, just me planting a tree (although at this size i could be doing anything....) 2009-10-14T23:47:51Z false 13093 2736 2009-10-14T23:50:42Z 11525 Nic, thanks!!! I'll definitely give it a try and will inform my fellow Folia-Klorofylli -members about this possibility too. 2009-10-15T03:37:59Z false 13095 2736 2009-10-15T03:37:59Z 10589 It looks fine!! I am glad that if finally works for you!! 2009-10-15T12:43:36Z false 13098 2736 2009-10-15T12:43:36Z 5779 Nic and others - it worked beautifully!! Gravatar I mean! it was too easy, wasn't prepared and had to make due with what I had at hand on the desktop so now I'm dahlia Dark Desire... only if... :D 2009-10-15T14:26:11Z false 13101 2736 2009-10-15T14:27:35Z 10589 @ lenanen- I had to laugh. That was funny!! Oh well. You will be better prepared next time!! :) 2009-10-15T15:43:04Z false 13103 2736 2009-10-15T15:43:04Z 5779
