Use this trick..https://creators.ning.com/blogs/members-not-uplaoding-profile2011-06-27T12:53:17.000Z2011-06-27T12:53:17.000ZAlex Olejnikhttps://creators.ning.com/members/AlexOlejnik<div><p>I don't know about you, but it does annoy me when members join <a href="http://www.k9united.com" target="_blank">my network</a> and don't bother to upload a profile picture.<br> I've come up with a cunning plan to get members to upload profile pictures..<br> <br> <br> I simply changed the default profile picture (which you can find in: MEMBERS - CONTROLS)<br> <br> <strong><span class="font-size-4">From this</span></strong>:<br> <img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1868417?profile=original" width="175"><br> As you can see my default profile pic was a silhouette of a person holding a dog (as my network is a dog lovers network)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span class="font-size-4">To This</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1868444?profile=original" width="175"></p>
<p>Who wants this as their profile picture?!<br> <br> <br> <strong><span class="font-size-3">I then sent a message broadcast to all members saying something like..</span></strong><br> <br></p>
<p><em>"Helloooo</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>In an effort to encourage members to add a profile picture, I have now changed the default profile picture..</em><br> <br> <strong>From this</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1868467?profile=original" width="175"></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>To this!</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1868479?profile=original" width="175"></p>
<p><br> <em>It would be so much better if we could all see your lovely faces, so unless you want the whole world to think that <strong>YOU SMELL</strong>, head over to <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.k9united.com/">www.k9united.com</a> and upload a profile picture now! (a picture of you and your dog is ideal)</em><br> <br> <em>(This can be done in settings)</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>Mwaaah haaaa haaaaaa, I am an evil genius!</em><br> <br> <br> <em>Have a lovely day</em></p>
<p> </p>

<p>Obviously this may not work for all networks but it's certainly working for mine!<br> <br> :)</p></div>
