I was originally going to post this in general questions, but it seemed kind of a lame question compared to the threads already there, so it’s off to MPSIMS. Here’s the question: How do I get my pic up on the people pages? (I’ve already tried emailing it to the addy on the site) If it’s such a dumb question, how come I can’t figure it out. I’ve been getting paranoid. Have I offended someone? Is my mug just too damn scary to be publicly posted? ---

Well - if you use the board’s search facility & put in “peoplepages”, you get this thread: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=31016](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=31016) in which Shayna & Techchick say how horribly busy they are at the moment. So I guess they’ll get back to you when they’re caught up. They also restate the link to send the pics to. ---

aye-aie cap’n. I have seen that thread. Posted to it, in fact. I can understand how busy they are, believe me. Furthermore, as it is a volonteer thing, I’m sure not going to go getting all upset or anything. Just curious, as I’ve been told that pics have gone up since. (Not sure of the accuracy of that statement - I mean ya, I was told, but not sure if… ah, whatever) Anyhoo, not like I’m an expert or anything, but I hereby volonteer to assist in anyway that I can. I’ve got a fast connection, so up/downloading pics and other large files is a snap. ---

I’m sorry, I realised after I’d hit send that it looked really rude & short & made it sound like you were a complete imbecile. I was hoping no one would read it & it would quietly fall off the front page. _sigh_ ---

Fierra, no prob re: short or rude. I have many friends that are short and rude, and they look nothing like your post. Furthermore, you needn’t worry about making it sound as if I am a complete imbecile, I can manage that one completely on my own. (don’t tell me you didn’t see that coming) Anyway, no worries. 😃 ---

dewt, No, no pictures have made it to the pages since you emailed yours. I promise, once I get done with Vegas Pictures (high on priority list) I will work on the SD People pages. ---

Just a word of caution here, dewt. Think ahead, pal. While considering what picture to send in, you may also want to consider how to get it taken down. ---

My gawd, don’t you ever sleep? I’m sorry if I seemed impatient. 🙂 I’m not really- (impatient that is) I hope the wording of my previous post didn’t come off as rude or overly demanding. (I was serious about the offer of help, if ever needed) ---
