You should have access now. I had to change a setting to allow members access to the advanced CSS features.

I do not have access to Advanced settings.

Kurt, Your width seems about right but it is chopping off the height. When you pull in a picture it sets the width to the actual width...sort of like facebook does with its header. I'm not exactly sure how it determines the height but you can adjust it with custom style sheet (CSS) code. Here is the code I plugged into mine by going to:

Settings, My Page, Appearance, Advances, and plugging this in:

#xg_masthead /*Header*/{margin: auto; display: block;height:425px; width:955px; background-color:transparent ; background-image: url(image_ulr); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top center}

It is best to resize your picture to 955 wide (if ou want it full width) then play around with the height. As you see mine is set to 425.

Jason, how do I increase the background picture size for the header on my personal page like you did on yours? I checked every item in the settings and I can't figure it out. Thanks, Kurt

Hi Ray...good to hear from you. Hey we are just getting started as I like to say.  Please make yourself at home and jump in anytime you like.

Jason.

Hi Jason

Hope all is well and boy what a site you have going.

you are by far the cloest to who I wanted to be with my 63 caddy stuff

Thanks for keeping things going. Great Job.

Jason...forgot to say thanks for the third horn...works great and she has her true Cadillac sound back!!!

Thanks Jimmy, Get some pictures up of your car when you get it ready and we will spotlight it one week! Jason.

Jason;  we have exchanged emails concerning parts for my 1963 convertible... I replied to your list & have agreed to purchase as per my last email along with questions on such... please reply either way if still availble thank you ed

Yeah, the profile picture can only bee so big. You will need to resize with a paint program or get it smaller size. I think if you upload it as a photo, view the picture (but not full sized) and right click and 'Save As' it will save as a much smaller version of your native Hi Res picture file. I use Paint Shop to resize my pictures but have even simply emailed the picture to myself using Windows Live Mail which gives you resize options.

As soon as I find a decent picture of myself I'll post it.

Jim, I strongly encourage everyone to sign up to our new site here and start using it instead of the old one. The old site will be deleted and not supported by Multiply effective Dec 1 (according to their memo), which is why my focus now is completely on getting members signed up an familiar with this site and moving content over from the old site.  Since anything posted on the old site will be going away anyway I have already turned off the ability to post pictures, videos, calendar events, links, etc and will turn off posting messages (blogs) after Sept which will make it effectively Read Only until the planned shut down on Dec 1 by Multiply.  

You could look at it like this:
Posting to the old site is like posting in sand but posting here is like posting in stone 

..... or perhaps you could say posting on the old site is like buying diamonds for the girlfriend that already has her bags packed and is headed out the door! :-)

Thanks Jason, for keeping this site alive and running.  Should we phase out of using Multiply and start using this? Or keep using both til shut down. Either way the sites are very informative and helpful and fun in so may ways. 

Regards, Jim

Thanks guys. It will take some time to get this site like we want it but think it will eventually be a BIG improvement over the Multiply site. Sometimes getting kicked out the door can be a good thing! LOL

Hey Jason, Thanks for all you do.  With out your help and vast klowledge my 63 would be parked instead of a fun driver!

Ron

Go to Photos and 'Add' to upload from your PC.

Ray,

I will be loading my own photo albums...it will be up to each member to pick and choose what they want to load. Be sure and use the 'tag' feature at the bottom if specific key words you want to use to pull them up.
