This Profile Slideshow system is unique because it can hold up to about 975 profile images which change every 30 seconds or whatever you set the interval to in the configuration menu (see below).
In fact, this slideshow does not actually save the profile images as textures at all. It saves the avatar and texture id keys in memory and it retrieves the profile image from the LL servers as it is about to display the next picture which means it is very memory efficient.
To add their picture, all a person has to do is to click on the display board. They will get a message that their picture will be displayed in about 10 seconds.
If they click the screen again at any time, they will be given the option to remove their picture if they want by saying YES or NO.
If they say 'NO', then the system will take the opportunity to refresh their profile picture so that if they have changed their picture in the meantime then their new one will be shown.
After about 975 images stored if you ever reach this number, new ones added cause the oldest to be deleted.
Configuration Menu
----------------------
Only available to the Owner by clicking the frame around the image area.
The dialog window will tell you how many pictures are 'stored' in the slideshow system and display four buttons.
DELETE: This button will delete the profile picture currently displayed.
DISPLAY TIME: This button allows you to set the time each picture is displayed. It will show you the current setting and then press either ADD or SUBTRACT followed by the amount you want to add or subtract from the display time. So if the current display time is 30 seconds and you want to change it to 20 seconds then press SUBTRACT followed by 10. The minimum display time is 5 seconds.
HOVER TEXT: The default hover text is 'Touch to add your profile picture!' and the default text color is a dark yellow. To change the text, press ENTER TEXT and then write your own text in the text box. As well as the default color, there are 8 other colors you can choose.
PROFILE NAME: You can turn ON or OFF the showing of the display name of the avatar whose picture is being displayed. If you do display the avatar's name then you can also change the text preceding the name. The default is "Displaying: ". To change the text press ENTER TEXT and type in your preferred text in the text box.
The menu times out after 30 seconds so just click the frame again if the menu seems to be non-responsive.
If you take the board back into your inventory after having pictures added to it, when you rez it again it will still have the pictures in it.
