2. What pictures do you recommend I upload to my profile?
   All pictures go through our standard approval process to ensure there's nothing too offensive, fake or containing contact details or inappropriate web addresses etc. The following guidelines should give you an idea of what is and isn't allowed on our service:
   

   • Primary Picture
     Your Primary Picture should be a clear head-and-shoulders shot of yourself. Adult picture ARE NOT allow as your primary picture.
   • Public Gallery
     Here you can upload pictures of yourself, your car, family / friends or whatever else you like. This helps other users to get a feel for what you're about and what things / people matter to you in life.
   • Private Gallery
     If you're camera-shy or just don't want to share your pictures with everyone, feel free to post it into your Private Gallery. Like your Public Gallery, you can upload pretty much anything you like (within reason). Any adult pictures you want to post to your profile MUST be posted to your private gallery.

   We operate a reasonably tollerent policy for the images we allow users to host on our service, but there are certain types of image that we don't allow.

4. My picture is too big. How do I resize it?
   When you upload your picture to your profile, it must be less than 2MB in size. Most digital cameras are capable of taking pictures much larger than this and therefore they must be reduced in size before being uploaded to your profile. For the web, pictures don't usually need to be any larger than 800x800 pixels.
   
   Although most image editing software is capable of resizing images, the following guide is for using Microsoft Paint as almost every PC should have this installed.
   

   1. Open Microsoft Paint from the Start Menu. This should be in All Programs, Accessories.
   2. Go to File, Open... and select the picture you'd like to resize.
   3. Select Image from the main menu, then Stretch/Skew.
   4. Enter the percentage to resize the image in both the Horizontal and Vertical fields. For example, entering 50% will make the image half the original size. 200% will make the image double the original size.
   5. Select File, Save As... to save your image to a new file. Make sure Save as type is set to JPEG and save the file as you would normally.
   6. Upload the new picture to your profile by logging in and selecting My Pictures.

5. What is my Private Gallery and what pictures should I upload here?
   Your Private Gallery allows you to upload pictures which you only want to share with selected people, but not make them available for all to view.
   
   You can upload a variety of pictures here, as long as they comply with our image guidelines.
   
   To upload pictures to your Private Gallery, simply select My Pictures from the main menu and select the option to save these into your Private Gallery.

6. Why do you add a notice to my images?
   When you upload your picture, it is automatically watermarked with our website address. This is for your own benefit as it prevents other internet users from using your pictures on other websites and/or distributing them without your consent.
   
   For more information regarding this, please see our website terms and conditions.
