:smack: I saw that notice about the completely separate programs about two minutes after I posted that question. I’m sorry I wasted your time, **Opal**.

Anyway, my profile (predictably under **JimSox5** ) is up with three pictures. I can add more if anybody wants me to, but I figure I’m probably pretty safe.

Hmmm. Now that I’ve seen these pictures of **SanguineSpider** , I think I’ll go over to the [calendar page](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=232958) and hit refresh until her month shows up.

Okay, I don’t get it. On the profile registration page I don’t see where it asks you to type a password. I didn’t get an email for a password when I created a profile. 'Sup? There’s no option to have the password emailed to you. I emailed you about this **OpalCat**.

Oh, and almost everybody’s picture(s) seem to be busted.

</div>

At the top of the profiles page there’s a menu bar that says:  
HOME PROFILES REGISTER / LOGIN \* FAVORITES BLOGS

Click the LOGIN choice. It tales me to a [Login page](http://teemingmillions.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=38) with two sets of login windows. If I use the upper one, with the Username and Password windows side-by-side, I don’t get logged in.

It works, though, if I use the lower one, where the Username window is above the Password window.

And yes, many pictures don’t seem to work. **Opal** , is there an optimal file size for the pictures?

Ringo: right. The login at the top of the main TMHP window is for the [teemingmillions.com](http://teemingmillions.com) registration. It’s a totally different program that isn’t connected in any way. (If I could find a way to merge the two databases I would, but that is impossible as one uses mySQL and the other is a flat file database.)

File size can’t be over 100k.

Horseflesh: It creates a random password and emails it to you. To change it, you just click the “Change Password” link when you are signed in. It should be the very first thing you do when you login the very first time.

NEW: profiles now have a link to an image gallery page with thumbnails rather than just text links for the extra pictures.

SanguineSpider: you really need to either upload another photo or move one of yours… right now you don’t have anything showing for the main pic (the one that shows up in the profile)

**Opal** , I had it email to both my login name and my email addy and I still haven’t received anything. I appreciate your help with this. Could you check to see if I entered my email correctly in my profile? horsephlesh at hotmail dot com.

**Sanguine** , yeah, I’m okay. My shower ran out of cold water but ice cubes help too. _shiver_

Ha HA!!! I’m in. Thanks **Opal** for all your help. I can’t believe you have enough time to do all this for free and still have a life to call your own.

BTW, the two things I noticed that still seem broken: 1) Can’t change your First Name on your profile, and 2) If you click on most of the “broken” pictures to see the full size one it just comes up as a blank page (spacer.gif).

And a note to other Teeming Millionites: The login for user name seems to be case sensitive.

One should always assume _any_ login or password is case sensitive.

Spacer.gif is the placeholder for people who didn’t have a photo before the upgrade. That isn’t “broken” it’s just the way it has to be. Unfortunately there isn’t a way (or at least no easy way) to make it not show any link at all if there isn’t an image uploaded. I need to put the placeholders in.

Which just means that EVERYONE should upload photos, as soon as possible.

NOW! Get to it, marines!

Yeah, I don’t have any good current pics of myself. But if you want to dig, check out the Dopefest photos and look at the Kansas City one from 2002.

Here’s [me](http://teemingmillions.com/people/cgi/pm.cgi?action=display&login=MaxTheVool) .

Unfortunately, the photo of me eating Sushi at a baseball game in Japan was too big to upload… I’ll have to go shrink it.
