Unfortunately this application is no longer available on Facebook. Feel free to check out other Facebook related posts on my blog.
This is a instructional video to show you how to use the Facebook App Profile Maker to dress up your Facebook profile. Profile Maker is a nice conversation starter and a fun app to play with. There are some general suggestions about how to edit the image in advance to get the most benefit as well as a walk through of the process included in this short video.
Hey Joe, this is pretty cool. I think I’ll give it a try soon. Thanks for the great video!
@Ileane Thanks Ileane, glad you like it. I thought it was clever. 🙂
Hi Joe! Thanks for the video:-)
I have a question that I hope you can answer – I have just followed the steps in the video, but only the large pic shows, not the five smaller pics, do you know why that is? (the three other pics show too, but I guess they disapear when I write posts etc so they aren’t that important:-)
I have done the steps many times now and after the thirtd step where the profile maker is uploading my pic I get an error message that says: Error code 121/12. Error connecting to facebook” or something like that.
Any suggestions..?
Thank you,
Maria
@MariaErving Hi Maria, I’ve been getting a number of reports of people getting errors with this application but I have not been able to reproduce the error. One thing I am wondering with your issue of the missing 5 pictures is possible you still have the old Facebook profile. Do you have the five images across the top of your profile like it shows in the video? You might want to also try adding a few new images to your profile and see if they show up there.
I hope this helps, please let me know.
@hackmanj Hey! 🙂 Thanks for the reply:-)
I have the new profile, yes. I have done the upload and the process several times with different pics and also asked my FB-friends about it, but only I have had issues with it – for them it just uploaded perfectly, so I’ll give it another try later in a few days or so.
@MariaErving You’re welcome. I am curious if you try on another computer if you get the same result? If so I suspect there may be a setting within Facebook or an anomaly with your account that is causing the issue. If you have an opportunity to test it on another computer please let me know what the outcome is. The IT guy in me is coming out, wanting to fix this! 🙂
@hackmanj Hello again:-) I just tried another computer- same result – the small pics don’t show, and I got the same Error-message. I also tried another browser tyo see if that helped, but it didn’t. If the IT-guy in you somehow figures this one out let me know lol:-D
@MariaErving Based on that I am fairly confident that it is either a bug with the app or a issue with your Facebook profile itself. For example when Facebook migrated you to the new profile somehow residual old profile settings remained. You could start with the application developer if you feel inclined though it may not be worth the trouble. Was hoping it was specific to your computer or browser but we’ve ruled that out. Thanks for continuing on!
