Profile Pictures
We have found that the best photo to use when posting your profile picture is a portrait of the member alone - the photo stamp size of the profile picture shows the member best this way. If you have other people in your picture or you are in the distance, it is distracting. Please try and use a picture that shows your face clearly - we love to connect with each member and feel more connected when we can "see" them clearly.:)
