Photo profile

[daisy99divine]

I've uploaded photos and marked them for mumsnet mates only but can't get them onto profile page
what do I do next?
I can see them but can't attach them to anything...

[HelenMumsnet]

Hello daisy99divine. Are you still having trouble with this?

Everything seems to be working well from this end. Did you click Store after uploading them?
And then give the photo a caption before saving?

[daisy99divine]

Hi Helen
yes, I did store and give them a caption
it's the getting them to show on my profile page that I can't do
I wanted them available to my mumsnet mates but I don't see any option for attaching them to the profile and when I click on my profile they're not there, although I can see them on the my photos bit ok

sorry to be dim

[HelenMumsnet]

Ok, did you click on the Visibility arrow that allowed you select showing only to Mumsnet mates?

And then, after saving, you can click on Preview Public Profile to see it on your Profile.

If it still doesn't work after all that, let us know and we'll try to find out what's going wrong...

[daisy99divine]

I clcked the mumsnet mates
on preview public profile it showed the pictures but it didn't seem to attach them to the public profile, when I check my profile there is no link saying daisy's photos like other people have!

[HelenMumsnet]

Ok, try this: go into My Mumsnet and scroll down till you see Share photos under Public Profile. Click on that. It'll take you back to your photos page.

Save all your photos again and then Preview your Profile again. Hopefully, your pics will be there now

[daisy99divine]

ok
when I do that it shows the photos on my profile page but when I click on the other bit the link is lost
GAAA!
on my profile there is no link to photos back again IYSWIM
then when I click on my mumsnet again I have to log in again!
I am running out of steam!sorry

[daisy99divine]

ok, this gets weirder. I can't preview my public profile page
I have just added some new details to see if that would help, but it didn't. It just goes straight onto the page

I can preview my photos and this preview page has a link to my profile page but when I click on that I get back to the profile page with no link back to the photos.....

Hmmm. I think my photos have fallen foul of some beauty patrol

[HelenMumsnet]

Oh dear, daisy, how frustrating for you!

We're a bit perplexed, to tell you the truth, because it's all working fine this end.

[TheInvisibleManDidIt]

Tech's have gone home??? You mean they don't live there, in their own wee individual sheds, chained to their computers?

[HelenMumsnet]

Weeeell, we let them out for 45mins on a Tuesday night - seems only fair, really

[daisy99divine]

Thanks Helen
when the Techs have stopped patrolling the permiter fence and been allowed back into Mumsnet Towers I would be delighted if they can look
I am probably being a total numpty but still can't see a link from my profile page to my photos....

[daisy99divine]

I have just experimeted and put one of my photos up on the introduction and it popped up straight away, but I really wanted to keep the photos for my mates only...

[HelenMumsnet]

Hurrah! Glad it's working at least in part

Will get Techs to check whether there's a problem with Mumsnet Mates

[CantSleepWontSleep]

I thought that restricting to mumsnet mates was not well received when it was introduced, so was inactive at present? Have I remembered incorrectly Helen?

[HelenMumsnet]

ah, well, CantSleep, that could be our answer!

[daisy99divine]

Not well received in what way? I rather like the idea of letting those who want to and I want to let (so to speak) see my photos without making it available to all the world...even the MN world....
but then perhaps I am shy and retiring and protective of my RL privacy....

[CantSleepWontSleep]

There were lots of 'clique' accusations iirc.
