You can include the prompt to upload a profile photo when prospective members sign up for your Ning Network by going to “Profile Questions” under the Members heading of your My Network tab. Under any of the questions that already appear, click on “Add Another Question.” Then, use the Answer Type drop-down menu to select “Photo” and this will auto-fill the Question Title field.
You can choose whether or not to require that members upload a photo during sign up by clicking the box on the right. You can also drag and drop any question to change the order in which new members will see them. Click “Save” when you are finished, and your sign up process will be updated immediately!
