Background images for profile

[Gidget]

So I can usually figure these things out. It is probably staring me right in the face but.... I am trying to put a background to my profile.

It says "Background images must come from your albums. Enter the URL to a picture in one of your public or profile albums." SO, I go to my album and I click on a pic and it says URL - so I copy and paste it for Background/Main and it gives me an error every time.

What is the magic touch I am missing please?

Thanks for helping.

PS The rest of the "customize profile page" might as well be calculus to me. I have figured out MySpace and facebook in the past, but this is intimidating lol! Maybe my brain is fried from looking at countless house plans....

The URL should look like "http://www.sowal.com/...."

Make sure your album is set to public and not private.

OK - public view CHECK
URL under pic "http:www.sowal.com/etc...." CHECK

And I get this

The following errors occurred with your submission

• Main has invalid properties: Background Image

Any suggestions?? Thanks for helping!

You can also set up an album just for profiling. When you click on Albums on your Profile page you will see that option. Once you have the photos in that album you will see a photo icon next to the background image box and you can click on it and it will open your Profile album and you can click on a photo and it will automatically move it for you.

Also as Kurt said if you use a photo already in one of of your albums, make sure you click on the photo, to view it, and under it will be a box that says Picture Url that begins with"http://www.sowal.com/...." copy everything in that box and put it in the box that says background image, it is the first background image box at the top of your profiling page under Main.

(see below)



Seems like I am following all the steps It doesn't show the entire URL in this screenshot. I pasted in

http://www.sowal.com/bb/members/gidg...osty-sweet.jpg

which showed up UNDER the pic in my public album.

Sorry to be such a hard case and THANKS for helping.
