Hey guys. How do you put in a picture so when you post a message, on the left side where your username is, there is a picture? I mean how do you set that picture that shows up right there? ---

Go to your profile. On the left hand side, look for Forum Profile Information. Click on it. If you want to use a picture from your computer: Click the radio button next to “I will upload my own picture.” Click browse and find your picture. If you want to use a picture on the internet: Click the radio button next to “I have my own pic.” Paste the URL of the image in the box to the right. Scroll down and click Change Profile. ---

Kim’s got it right. =) Also, next time, you can click the “modify” button on the post instead of double posting. ---

If you upload your own picture you have to make it an avatar first. There is a website where you can do that but i can’t remeber what it’s called. You could prob just google it and find it. Hope this helps! davideyo ---
