There are 3 privacy options, which can be changed at anytime:

*Portfolio accessible via personal url only
*Do not show profile and portfolio
Image specifications:
Images: jpg, jpeg, gif, png
Movies: .mov .qt
Flash: .swf
Shockwave: .dcr, .dir, .dxr
Do not use spaces when you name your files. Each of your images
should be kept at around 100k. Images should be saved at 72dpi.
Images should be saved in RGB color mode not in CMYK. This is very
important, your image will not show correctly if it is not saved
in RGB mode.
The size of the image can vary, but we suggest making your images
no more than 700 pixels wide. Try a variety of sizes to determine
what looks best for each image.
The system automatically-generates your thumbnail image for you,
but you also have the option of uploading your own thumbnail instead.
How do I send someone a link to my online portfolio?
Your Coroflot portfolio comes with a personal URL that you can send
to friends and potential employers as a direct link. The default
personal URL is www.coroflot.com/{your_user_name}. Your "User Name"
is the name you use to log-in to the site. So, if your User Name
is "CoreJr" your personal URL is "www.coroflot.com/CoreJr".
You can change your Personal URL at any time. On the "Edit Profile" form you'll see a field labeled "Personal URL". This is where you can change your Personal URL.
How long before my portfolio is on line?
Your portfolio goes on line immediately. If you have just created
your portfolio and you don't see it appearing where it should, check
the "Privacy" setting described above.
My portfolio doesn't appear in searches.
Check your privacy settings within your account. If the Privacy
setting is set to private, your portfolio will not show up in search
results. To have your portfolio appear in search and browse results
your privacy setting should be set to "Show profile and portfolio
to others."
