If you are about to upload a pic and you think 'I wonder if this will get me in trouble' then the chances are: yes, it will get you in trouble ;) I'm not sure about India, but in Australia and the US there are strict laws regarding offensive material on the net (certain types of pr0n, for instance). cheers, Chris Maunder
Chris Maunder wrote: in Australia and the US there are strict laws regarding offensive material on the net Actually, the US either doesn't have any such laws, or we have yet to figure out how to enforce them. It's more or less a free-for-all here. Mostly out of curiosity, as I don't consider sex to be a spectator sport, I have done some random searches to see what could be found. The supply is limitless, for anyone with a valid credit card. Rather disgusting, I know, but there it is... I've never heard of a site being blocked by anyone, though some ISPs have internal policies forbidding certain types of content.

I think 150x150 is good enough. It's up to us to find a pic that is appropriate for that size restriction. Besides a picture that even has an identifiable image of the intended subject, the problem might actually be that some folks are using third-rate paint programs to make any adustments that might be needed. I use PaintShop Pro. The pic I posted is a crop of a larger photo, but Chris made it fairly easy on us. The max resoplution of the pic is *square*, so all we have to do is crop a picture so that the cropped area is square and resize the cropped area to 150 pixels. PaintShop pro makes this task almost brainless in it's simplicity. "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

Bowing to popular demand (and also the fact that I've got a ton of boringh stuff I should be doing, but did this instead) you can now upload images that will be displayed in the 'who's who' pages, and next to your bio at the bottom of your articles. BTW - no abuse of this facility will be tolerated. Post a pic that is offensive, degrading or downright illegal and your account gets flagged as having no images allowed permanently. If the system is abused generally then it gets scrapped. "Don't you have more important things to be doing?" I hear you all cry. Yes. Yes I do. cheers, Chris Maunder
Chris, I think this picture feature is awesome. We can now actually see who we are talking to. And sometimes a picture worth a thousand words. :) But there is a new little problem: multiple choices for Occupation and Interests fields are not saved anymore. Only first selections are saved. :( Thank you.

I've got a pic of Charleton Heston here somewhere - think anyone would believe it? I met a lizard today who claimed to be a Brontosaurus, on his mother's side. I didn't laugh; it caused no harm, yet made him happy, in a world where happiness is in short supply...
