I spent all night upgrading the script that has so faithfully run the profiles over yonder at [www.teemingmillions.com](http://www.teemingmillions.com). The new version lets you upload photos directly (no more hosting them elsewhere and hotlinking!) to your profile! No more broken images! (Well, not once everyone’s uploaded them anyway. The ones that are broken right now will stay broken until the person who made them fixes 'em.) I’ve got it set to allow 5 photos, but they can’t be too big–I only have so much hard disk space! Other fancy features include: - blogs - private messaging - email form rather than having your email address hotlinked - favorites/address book - a real url for your profile - other stuff that I won’t remember until I post this Anyway, if you don’t have a profile, go get one! If you are one of the 1277 who already have one… go update it! It’s fancy. 🙂 [http://teemingmillions.com/profiles/](http://teemingmillions.com/profiles/) ---

(Oh yeah… please let me know if you find any bugs. Keep in mind that I’m really sleepy and some of this was done while drooling in my own lap.) ---

Attempted to upload pic. Entered pic details hit upload. Automatically forwarded to this page [http://teemingmillions.com/people/cgi/upload.cgi](http://teemingmillions.com/people/cgi/upload.cgi) Process seemed to stall as nothing happened for a few minutes. Hit back, went to my profile and the pic is there, so I don’t know what’s happening with that cgi page. Anyway, my pic is there, but of course, you don’t allow @ in my username, so I’m caughtatwork. ---

Hmmm… I just tried uploading a photo to my profile and it worked ok. Is anyone else having any weird problems with the upload? ---

After pruning out broken stuff the total number of profiles is at 726. Just for the sake of being nitpicky and accurate. ---

Ok **Opal** , I started a profile, and added a picture, but when I tried to log back on this morning, the username and password that I was e-mailed failed to work. What gives? ---

Hey Opal, I’m having problems logging in too to edit it. Is there somewhere on the site where I can get my password e-mailed to me or at least reset so I can change it? ---

Oh, carp. I thought the one stumbling block to my being a “popular” poster was that my visage was already available! ::sobs quietly:: ---

Ok a few people’s logins seem to be messed up. If you can’t login, please send me an email and I’ll reset your password. [opalcat@fathom.org](mailto:opalcat@fathom.org) (please mention teeming millions profiles in the subject or your email will probably get deleted without even being opened) ---

You know whose profile I would really like to read? **Sanguine Spider** ’s. That chick just fascinates me. Maybe she’ll see this and get busy telling us about herself. Photo’s would help too, though I don’t know if they could compete with my (completely tasteful) mental image of her. I just thought I’d mention it. ---

For those having trouble logging in: Before you email me to reset your password, try these steps first: - make sure you have no spaces before or after either your username or password when you are logging in - try various differences in capitalization with your username. I know of at least one instance where the “forgot password” email actually sent out email with the username in lower case when it needed to be capitalized in order for the login to work! Then if it still isn’t working, email me and I’ll reset the password for ya 🙂 ---

It is clear to me that Opal hates me, and wishes for me to go insane trying to log in to this site. Even when using correct capitalization and making sure there are no spaces, etc, I can not log in. ---

I got my profile going, but it wouldn’t let me back in. It’s either really smart, or broken. 🙂 ---

How come a lot of the profiles with pictures have a blank spot where the picture would be (not even a marker)? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/upload-photos-to-your-teeming-millions-profile-woohoo/222784.md?page=2)
