hi abi,brora,jinty,surjested i send you a message,about sometihing i wanted to do,but apparently im not allowed,
ive been on h2g2 for a while now
ive guideml,pics from blobs,and so,on.so only being on a digibox,i went for a prowl around the other pages,to see what i could try on mine,and i came upon a few(vegiman was one)
that had a personal picture on there page,so i asked the person
who as been helping me,if he could do a pic of me,as a blob,to use on my space,he said it was not allowed(now as i came on your page)what do i find.
digibox users are limited to what we can do,so a personal pic would highlight to page(dont you think)what about one of the aces
doing them for us,we could get a pc user to put a small pic on email(we could send it to an ace,and he could vet the pic to make sure its within the morals guideline.and set a size,for the pic.i.e.3by3inches or so,and he can send the blob number to the one it came from(maybe two pics)we can alernate.and no a guide will be needed for the pic,it will be personal only to the one it is of,let me know what you think of this idea jim,jimcracker7

Hi

The only people able to blob pictures (ie upload them to the DNA database) are the inhouse Editors. They are the only people with the access to the tools. ACEs are volunteers and don't have access to the neccessary bits of the site.

We don't as a rule blob people's pictures. We have made exceptions for real life meet-ups, but this is where the picture is being used for a caption competition or to illustrate an article in the Community Newspaper. The picture of me is actually from the Maidstone Meetup from January of this year.

However, there is a feature on the Features Suggestion list to enable people to upload their own pictures. When this will come about, I am not able to say for sure, but it is on the list.

thanks for explaning how it works,i did see somewhere on my travels that h2g2 was founded in the early 90,s,
but if we have to wait another 2,3,4,yrs or so to be able to put a pic on,well thats what we,ll have to do,thanks again jim.
