A little off topic, but how do I get a picture onto my profile? The bit about setting up a path confuses me? ???

Cheers, I'll give it a go later! :)

It should be ok... the 80x80 is just a warning so that you know the picture will be resized to 80x80. You can still use a 100x100 picture, it just might seem a little squashed...

No, I tried putting a 100x100 in and I get a message that its too large!

Oops sorry. My mistake  :-\

Pay no attention.... just checking to see if my profile update worked.   ;D

Did it?  ;)

Hi!
I am new to this board! I have been trying to add a picture so this is a test.

Hi Whoiam,  I was having trouble too but if you go to the link mentioned in the previous message (photobucket.com) you can start an online site to store pictures.  Edit them to 80X80 and then use the URL to place a picture in your profile.
If you have any questions, shoot a message to Roz.  She helped me out.

Hey im new in here and i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out in how to put a picture for my display, it doesn't seem to be working??

Youll need to click on "profile" near the top of the page, then click on "forum profile settings" on the left. To use your own pic, it will have to already be uploaded on the internet, and you will need to put in the address for the pic. To get the address, right click on the pic of choice, click properties, and the addy will be there, just copy and paste.
Hope that helps.

Orlando Bloom is such a **HOTTIE**,  that pic thing didn't work. i went to the picture copied and paste the line where the pic is located and paste.  Is that right?? Coz it didn't work!!

are you copying the line of the webpage where the pic is, or the html of the pic itself? For example, if you right-click on my avatar, and go to properties, the url http://groups.msn.com/.... is displayed...this is the bit you need

Welcome to the Shack Witchywin! ;D  Read though this thread.  It has the instructions on adding a Profile Picture:

Try having a read of this topic

http://www.theyakshack.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1146.0

It is rather long but very funny and dead useful  ;D.  If you have a Photobucket account that also helps.  This is free (when you only have a few pictures) and you just link the picture in there to here  :).

The only thing that's different now is that avatars can be 100 x 100 instead of 80 x 80 pixels.

Sharon & kbmum have great advice.  My only advice is not to type in all caps as in net-speak that's considered "shouting". 

Looking forward to seeing the picture as I have no clue what character you're referring to...

Hi All

I was just looking at the replies to this many thanks!!!, as I'm not that pc literare with these matters would someone mind doing it for if that was possible and I could email the pic to you as it's the same picture I use for my signiture on the bottom of my emails i send.

Mant Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul, send me the link to the picture you want and I can edit your profile for you :)

When I post this is what happens to my avatar, but in my profile it is still there.Does anyone know whats happened :'( :'( :'(

Ok working again... never mind

I still dont see it :-[

Maybe you should re-enter the IMG link in your profile and see if that works :-\

Yeah I don't see it any more - your link to photobucket must be incorrect  :-\

Isn't it the http one you need  :-\

I can still see it on my computer
Is it there now ??? ???

I can see your avatar now. ;D
