Because DS (I presume) has somehow managed to set a photo from my phone as my contact picture on there. It's actually mine and DP's arms protruding out from some covers (we're probably hiding from DS underneath them) but, well, it happens to look a bit like a naked bum Blush

I can't find an option anywhere to change or remove it! Help!

Was going to say,' it must be easy!' ...then remembered how DS managed to turn my laptop screen from portrait to landscape by walloping the keyboard, whereas it took me aeons of (very careful) googling and menu searching to turn it back. Ahem.

So, on my gmail page, in the top right hand corner it says "Boulevard Sleep" then "0" then "+ Share", then a tiny photo. If you click on the tiny photo it gives you the option to change it.
Well. It gives me the option to change it, I can't vouch for what your DS has managed to do Grin

Oops: click on the photo, then 'View profile', then hover over the photo to get the option to change it.

Oh. Er....

Just opened my second gmail a/c, which isn't google+... under 'chat', if I hover over my own name it pops out a box with an 'add a picture' option, could that be the way forward?
