using the profile for photos?

Would it no be nice if more of us seniors actually placed some photos in their profile page.

They don't have to be of yourself or any that may identify you,just some pictures of places of interest or natural beauty near you,place you been oh holiday and such.

There are people from Canada to Australia who frequent this section,we could have a virtual world tour for free

Update:

For those having difficulty. I you have your 'view profile' open,then click it,the page you come to will have 'photo' option on left,when clicked there will be option to upload photo from your disc,make an album and select who can see the photos.

If your profile isn't open,click 'edit my preferences' then next page click 'update my photo' when the avatar box appears,click on view my profile above it and that will take you the photo page previously described

    Some people use face book and there yahoo accounts to connect with family. Not just for here and they want to show them there children, or a cute photo. Every parent has a pile of photos with a memory attached and seeing that picture gives you that happy feeling inside thinking about that day.

    Wish I could! I am too computer illiterate and don't know how to post something like that. I signed up for a computer class at the local library, but it was canceled due to a shortage of funds. We just purchased a new camera and I'm trying to learn how to use that! Maybe once I do that, I'll be able to put something into the computer.

    At least I am no longer using my little portable manual typewriter -- lol.

    It would be nice if they put their countries flag as an avatar, then we would know where they came from.

    I was e-mailing someone for a long time who I thought was American, turned out they were Australian.

    We would get to know each others countries flags.

    Good question.

    I stopped when the clones copied mine & opened up new accounts that looked like me to the untrained eye. If you look closely - the cloned accounts have a blurry look to them. They are copies & the clarity doesn't come across in a copy-cat clone avatar photo.

    Yep, did it. My avatar is of the Wizard of Oz in case you've wondered.

    Sounds like a great idea.

    I like avators and pictures but you have a good idea going.

    Great idea, I don't know how to do that, but I guess I could learn. Next time my SIL comes to visit, I'll corral him and make him teach me.

    I guess so, but I fail to see what this question has to do with being an old fart.
