Posting multiple images on MFC profile

[noraMFC]

Ah the dreaded help me with my profile question.......yes I know. I've been googling my hands of for the last 2 days and all of the info I'm finding is from 2013 and back....

All I want to know is how you post images on your MFC profile....I can't get down with CSS and it seems a lot of girls make their tip menus, rules...etc...in a photoshop program then post the image on their page. Seems simple...I've been trying to do just that but none of the HTML codes I'm using are working...

Someone plz halp me!

If you're trying to build a profile, use Canva! My friend just told me about it and it's a dream come true.
Incredibly easy profile builder, you download the images to your computer, then download them to a photo-sharing website (I use photobucket) and BAM you have the HTML code!

Once you have the HTML coding, go into "edit profile", head to "step three", and paste the coding into any of the text boxes.

If you don't want to see on your profile all the headers to the text boxes, go into "customize profile" and edit the colours of everything so they're all the same colour as the background of your profile.

First off you need to upload the photos you want have on your profile to an image hosting site. You can use sites like imgur, but it's also very easy to just use your profile itself.

Create a new photo gallery, and then set it to hidden so it doesn't appear on your profile itself. Upload the photos you want to use into that.







Once you get them uploaded you can click on any photo in your gallery and get the URL. Like this.



The generic code I use, that works nicely, looks like this:

<img src="URL.Link.Here.In.Between.Quotation.Marks" alt="Alternate.Text.Here" height="500" width="500">

With that URL in the link area. Then you can also type in the alt text. That only shows on peoples browsers if the picture can't load for some reason, It lets them know what should be there. So it's not a really big deal. And then the height and width if you want to specify the size it shows on your profile. I like to do that.

<img src="https://img.mfcimg.com/photos2/530/5306343/690-718-242-510-3090462.jpg" alt="Avatar" height="400" width="400">

You can also get rid of the height and width from the code. But then whatever size your picture is saved as, is what it will show on the profile. By including the size you can quickly adjust it if it's too large or small. That doesn't change your original picture, just how big it shows on the page. Just remember to keep the same aspect ratio so it doesn't look stretched.

<img src="https://img.mfcimg.com/photos2/530/5306343/690-718-242-510-3090462.jpg" alt="Avatar">

If you place both of those codes in your profile that should load the avatar from my profile. If you do both you'll be able to see the size difference and adjust the one with the sizing in it. Then just replace the URL with yours and adjust the size.

You can use sites like imgur,

Imgur doesn't work for MFC anymore, I'm pretty sure.

Uploading right to MFC as you described is absolutely the best way to go. Leave them "unassigned" and they won't show up in any folder. That's what I do. easy peasy.

Ah, crap. I remember that now that you mentioned it. Been so long since I tried to use imgur for a profile I forgot about it not working anymore.

a website!! and it's free! Just make an account and you can upload images, use the sites images, there's colour/transparency options etc.
some of the stuff costs money, like specific shapes or backgrounds, but it's not difficult to make a decent profile for free by uploading all your own stuff!
