You dont need to upload the pic first. Instead you can go to the top of the page and click Quick Links select Use Custom Avatar then click Browse. you will then need to find the picture on your computer, select it and clcik Open.
If you have uploaded your pic elsewhere (like your web server/personal web page) and have a url, you can enter yoour avatar Url int he box provided. then click Save Changes.



It sounds complicated but once you have done it you will find its not that hard after all!

I am still available to resize pics & put fancy writing on them if your having trouble with this.

An avatar is the picture next to your name. If you click on "User CP" on the left side of the top green bar, you will be taken to a screen. On that screen, you will see one of the options on the left "Edit Avatar". Click on that and upload your picture (as long as its the right size.)

Eileen that pic in your Avatar is a classic! Little man is all played out by the looks of it

How do you put a pic in the actual post (ie not as an attachment, but in amongst the words)? I consider myself reasonably computer-savvy, but I can't figure this out for the life of me.

[johT]

it needs to be hosted somewhere (like photobucket/a blog)...
then put on either side of the link; [img] [/ img] tags (with no spaces in the brackets)...

[Possum]

Ah, thanks for that. And that explains my dilemma. So if you put the link in the text will the pic show or do you have to click the link to see it?

[johT]

you should see the pic. let me show you.
