I have 10 picks in my Picks tabs.... ok, granted that there are 4 in there that I could remove, but at the moment - I don't want to, and I have about 5 extra mates, who all are hinting at wanting to be added....I can see this is going to ruffle a few feathers! lol!
I recently saw someones Profile with a huge Picks list with a scroller bar, of Picks. Is there a way to increase the number of Picks? - or is this a paid members priviledge thing ?
Thanks in advance.

I have never seen anyone with more than 10. Could you have been viewing the classified part or the profile? I would love to have more room on mine too!!!

The Profile Picks page says on it to "tell everyone about your favorite places in Second Life." But I often see that people are using it for photographs of friends, lengthy extended profiles, etc. I wonder when/how the habit of featuring your friends came about, as opposed to featuring places you like and want to share with others?

Princess Ivory Maybe they'd like to share their friends and loved ones with us? It can be a little nauseating. Although the worst one I've seen so far was a former forum regular who had himself in his picks, more than once! Sorry, to the OP, I don't think you can add to the number of picks. But you can use your individual picks to make a list of cool places with locations, freeing up room for new picks. _____________________

It's the easiest way to tell someone how to get a landmark to your store or venue without having to fish one out of inventory every time someone asks. If I'm trying to find a particular persons shop but don't know the name of it, their pofile picks are the first place I'll look. _____________________

It's how I find a lot of places. This person had himself in his picks, I think three times, simply singing his own praises, telling us what a cool guy he was, great with the ladies (or bitches, as he called them), etc. _____________________

what about using the web tab, create a webpage somewhere, lots of free ones, make it a cute format, or heck use facebook, or myspace or something like that
put a link to it in the web tab, and there ya go free up the picks for picks of places, use web for picks for friends or whatnot _____________________

When that Started happening to me, I would group them in pairs. Bring two friends together, photo them together, and have two descriptions on One Pick.

Hey... check out Torley Linden's Picks, that's a good example of some of the many ways people are (mis)using their Picks (: secondlife:///app/agent/a98f2541-04e3-46b2-b038-f82d8cf86f3f/about |

Ty, SuezanneC, the page looks cool, will think but using it!
I'm sorry for that, but I love using my Picks tag for my closer friends, a way to show them I love them (yep, I know I don't have to show it or say it, but I want to). Anyway, it's each one profile, so you can do what you want (without violating ToS). *missing more room for pics too* _____________________
