Before you add a Picture Gallery to your profile, I recommend that you first get comfortable with IMG tags by posting one or two ads that include images.  Once you get the hang of IMG tags, doing a profile Gallery will be a cake walk.   There is a separate tutorial in this forum entitled "How to attach images to your advertisements" that spells out all those details.

Cool, another thing I recommend before you activate your profile Picture Gallery is that you do this on a laptop, at least for the first go around. The reason for this is because you will need to have 3 simultaneous tabs open, and juggling with tabs is easier done on a laptop.

Ok, now lets get to the meat of the process.

1) Open a new tab in your browser, and navigate to your profile.  OH4 main page -> User CP -> Your Account Summary -> Your UserId (first link under Account Summary).
2) Open a new tab in your browser, and navigate to edit profile. OH4 main page -> User CP -> Menu panel -> Edit Profile
3) Open a new tab in your browser wherever your pictures are being hosted (e.g. postimage.org)

So for each image that you want to add to your Picture Gallery:
  Grab the URL of the image from (3) .  
  Then at the very bottom of (2) on the Gallery text box, paste the URL and enclose it in IMG tags. 
  Then click "Update Profile" button at the bottom of (2)
  Finally, refresh tab (1) from your browser and see if the picture has been added to your gallery.   

Repeat above process for each picture that needs to be added.

Case 1: You got an automated message from OH4 (Estimated Completion Time = 5 minutes)

The OH4 system periodically scans social media sites and might send you an invitation if your social media footprint is a good match.  In this case, all you have to do is follow the instructions in the automated message and your account should be active almost instantly. Please note that invitations expire after 48 hours from the time they were sent to you, so the system might reject you even if you had a valid invitation at some point in the past.

Case 2: You personally know an existing OH4 member (Estimated Completion Time = 2 days)

Go to the main OH4 page, click on Register and fill in the form.  Then communicate with the existing OH4 member that you know personally, and tell her the OH4 name that you used during registration, and ask her to PM DanerysTargaryen to activate your account. 

Case 3: You have an extensive social media footprint (Estimated Completion Time = 5 days)

Your social media footprint is measured as the sum of personal active web pages that you have created and the average number of postings you write in a single day.  For the purposes of Case 3, an extensive social media footprint is defined as that sum yielding a score of 8 or above.

If you have an extensive social media footprint, then go to the main OH4 page, click on register and fill in the form.  Do not skip the part where it asks you about your social media links as that will be the main driver to determine your eligibility for OH4.  If the system determines that the information you entered is congruent, it will email you a 4 digit activation code within 48 hours.  Once you received the code (be sure to check all folders in your email client, besides inbox), go back to OH4 account page and add the 4 digit activation code in the field labeled activation_code.  If all goes well, your account will be activated 48 hours after that field is completed with the correct code.

Case 4: You have a well established social media account but limited social media footprint (Estimated Completion Time = 2 weeks)

If your social media score (as defined in the previous case) is too low, but you are a well established member of another social site (established, meaning you have been a member of that other site for more than 2 years), then you may request a manual activation of your OH4 account.  The process is as follows.  First, go to the OH4 main page, and select Register.  When registering, create the OH4 account with the exact same name as in your other well established social site account.  Then send an email to oh4verification@proton.me with the subject "Phrase Request", and in the body of the email state the name of your OH4 account. Within a couple of days you will receive a short comma separated list of letters/numbers.  That is your phrase.  For the purposes of illustration, let's say the phrase you got is the 7 letter/number sequence d,r,a,g,o,n,4 . Then -and this is important- on that same day, go to the social site where you have been a member for 2 or more years, and post a public message that incorporates the phrase letters/numbers in sequence (make sure the message is posted in a public forum, where no login or special access is required). The message content itself is irrelevant. For example, for the sample letter/number sequence d,r,a,g,o,n,4 mentioned earlier, a sample matching message would be "Day or night I remember accessing great opportunities nearby the 4 establishments". Once you have posted the message, reply back to the OH4 phrase request email with 1) the URL of the posted message, and 2) the decoded message - meaning the message with the phrase letters/numbers in sequence highlighted.  For example, in the example message from earlier, the decoded message that you would email would look like "(D)ay o( r) night I remember (a)ccessing (g)reat opp(o)rtunities (n)earby the (4) establishments".

Case 5: You are a random anonymous internet user (Estimated Completion Time = 2 Years)

If you are a random internet user with no social media standing, at this time OH4 is not accepting applications.  What you can do is go to other social media sites and start building some reputation over there.  Once you have two years or more of credible reputation, you might see if you qualify for any of the cases mentioned earlier.

Regardless of the case that you fall under, if you think your account activation is stuck at some stage in the process feel free to email oh4verification@proton.me and somebody in the staff will take a look at it.

The default avatar is just an empty outline of a person.   In order to change it you must have a gif or jpg file no larger than 100 pixels, either horizontally or vertically. If you do not have such a file handy, you can use any image editing app in your device to get the jpg to that size.  Alternatively, you might use many available online tools that can do the resizing for you, no apps needed.   I just did a quick test with https://superimageconverter.com/resize-i...o-100x100/  and it worked fine.

After you have obtained the resized picture, go to the main OH4 screen, look for "User CP" (CP stands for Control Panel), and from there look for the change avatar option, and then just follow the prompts from the system.

NOTE: Only the picture that you will be using as an avatar needs be 100 pixels.  Other pictures (like the ones in your ad) can be of any size.  Those pictures do not need to be resized.

Case 1: The picture in is in your local cell/tablet/computer
1.1 Go to a free picture upload site, such as https://postimages.org
1.2 On the postimages.org main page, click Chose Images button.
1.3 A dialog will pop out asking you to select the picture from your local device.
1.4 After the picture is selected, you will be taken to a new page where it shows you a list of links for several scenarios.
1.5 The scenario that you want is Direct Link.
1.6 Copy the code in Direct Link (it looks like https://i.postimg.cc/somerandomcharcaters/flower.jpg) into your device clipboard.
(this can be done by selecting the code, then right clicking on it, and selecting copy, or by clicking on the double paper button at the end of the Direct Link).
1.7 Go back to the OH4 thread you are creating, and paste the code there.  Then enclose the code in IMG tags.     The end result should look something like this:

[IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/somerandomcharacters/flower.jpg[/IMG]

Do not forget the slash character ( / ) in the second IMG tag.

Also when you paste the code make sure you do a Plain Text Paste  (as opposed to a Rich Paste).  If you do not know how to do this, here is a quick overview: Plain Text Paste

1.8 Press the preview button on the OH4 thread editor.    It should show the picture inserted in your posting.

Case 2: The picture is already in the public web in some other site
2.1 Go to that other site where your picture is.
2.2 Right click on the picture and select "Copy Image URL" .  This will copy the URL to your clipboard.  (If you are using a cell or a tablet, you can simulate a right click by pressing and holding for a couple of seconds on the image.  After you release, it will show you the context menu with the "Copy Image URL" option).
2.3 Follow steps 1.7 and 1.8 mentioned earlier.
2.4. Note that for Case 2 to work, the image needs to be publicly accessible.  Some site do require an active login session before showing pictures, so steps 2.1-2.3 wont work in these cases.]]>
