Hi there, This should be a no-brainer, I'm sure, but I can't seem to load a bio photo. I had a slideshow running in my bio box and recently deleted that, now I want to go back to a regular bio and photo. I think I have probably deleted something important...! I know a little about CSS but not enough to figure this out, and have looked all over the forum for help.
Hope I have not overlooked something very simple!
Thanks...

    It looks like your bio section is actually in your 'bio & find' section in your navbar. Do you mean that you would like to change the photo that appears in that section?

    This in your CSS is hiding the bio photo.

    #bioBox .photo {
    display: none;
    showThumbs: 'false',
    }

    Also this in invalid in CSS, showThumbs: 'false' is one of the slideshow
    parameters that goes in the show script.

    The problems are resulting because I had a slideshow running in my Bio section, which I was shown how to do in the forum and it worked really well. When I decided to become more involved in the forum and leaving comments I wanted an avatar photo and that's when I realized I couldn't get a photo to attach from "This is me" in the tools of any gallery.

    I did see this in CSS:
    #bioBox .photo {
    display: none;
    showThumbs: 'false',
    }
    but don't know nearly enough about it. Shouldn't have messed with it in the first place, I guess.
    What I really want is for everything that was inserted for the slideshow in the bio box to be now gone, and the 'This is me' link to work again, with a photo. In the meantime, I've noticed that I do have an avatar when I post comments, so maybe it's all resolved, although the photo is still not coming up when I enable Bio on the homepage.
    Thanks so much for helping.....

    I currently have a slideshow running by enabling 'slideshow' under Homepage layout and I like that and want to keep it. It's really easy to use and runs perfectly.... I just don't know why I didn't use that in the first place!!

    I would like you to remove any and all remains of the previous slideshow that I set up via Bio box by changing html codes and playing around in areas that I do not understand very well. So if you can clean that up for me, it would be wonderful, as I'm worried that I have left bits of code lying around that are only going to cause problems in the future. Is it possible for you to do that?

    Have I explained myself well enough? I hope so, as this seems like such a small issue when I know you have much bigger stuff to deal with....
