Before going any farther, make sure you have reviewed our sample portfolio. VoVo the green dot guy can help out. Answers to detailed questions can be found below.

I can't log in to my account. What should I do?
You can have your login information resent to you via email by going to the 'Forgot Password' page. If that doesn't work then call us at 1-888-756-8282 (toll free) and our helpful staff will take care of you.

I forgot my password. Help!
You can have your login information resent to you via email by going to the 'Forgot Password' page. The system tracks your login info from the email address you used to register, if that email address is old and no longer working you can call us or email us and we can look up your login info for you.

How can I reset my password?
On your account summary page there is an option to 'Change Password'. Click that link and update either of them at any time.

How do I update my portfolio?
You simply login to your account using your secure name and password, then click on edit profile. Switch to preview mode to view how your portfolio will look to the public.

How do I know how many people have viewed my profile page?
Your account summary page will show an overview of traffic to your portfolio.

How can I temporarily hide my portfolio from the public?
Within edit mode you have 3 privacy options, which can be changed at anytime:
Privacy
*Show profile and portfolio to others
*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. If you want to upload your own thumbnails, the file specifications are 178 x 133 pixels saved at 72 dpi.

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 the default setting at any time when editing your portfolio. On the edit form you'll see a field labeled "Personal URL". You can change the settings by editing this field.

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."
