    You are using it fine so far. Just give your opinion on things and don't break the rules.

    Oh, and do not feed the trolls. There are a few on here that reaaaaally enjoy screwing with people. (Might I suggest the gay rights section for some perfect examples.)

    Being specific with your questions, will result in specific answers/solutions to those questions.

    Good luck

    If you are referring to the picture that will display on your post, that is your "avatar."

    the method for it is... User CP > Settings and Options > Edit Avatar

    ~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Profile picture," will be displayed on your profile page only.

    method... User CP > Edit Profile picture

    :)

    Okay, I'll do my best to help you.

    Follow these steps...

    User CP > Settings and Options > Edit Avatar

    now, in the "custom avatar" section, check the "Use Custom Avatar"

    click on "browse", chose the picture you want to display, click on it, then click "Save Changes"

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Your new Avatar should display on your next post. :)

    On this site, "profile picture" and "avatar" are two entirely different things.

    If you wish to have an "avatar," (the little photo that shows on your postings), follow the instructions in my previous post.

    Don't get frustrated, it will work.

    I'm sorry for your frustration, but if you have photo's stored on your computer, the instructions I posted should/will work.

    Apparently somewhere in our exchange, there is a miscommunication. My apologies.

    Perhaps another member will read this, and better articulate the steps for you.

    copy and paste this line into your avatar box like Ange instructed:

    http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t33/texrose752/avatar.jpg

    Under Setting & Options on your User CP -- EDIT AVATAR

    You can always change it once you figure out how it works... there's a size limit on avatars... maybe that's your problem

    Welcome to the forum!

    You can upload your pic as an avatar, that's all. You may also create an album at your profile page, and link to it via sig.
    Just read the rules, so you don't overdo it.
    Not sure what else you could do. I linked you to the general forum usage. If you can't find it in there, its probably not possible.
    Not sure why you would want to post your image in every post.
    Again, you may wish to read the forum rules.

    I looked at your profile page. It could be that your image is too large to be used as an avatar.
    Try uploading one to photobucket ... and reducing it in size, then uploading it as an avatar. We have several users who do it this way.

    You do know this is not a dating service, right?

    Welcome anyway, with or without picture! :)
