ps how do you upload a profile picture

Hi Stu,

To upload a profile pic (or avatar) that shows up alongside your posts...
- Click 'Settings' from the top right hand corner of your screen
- Then on the left of your screen click 'Edit Avatar'
You can then either upload a picture form your computer or use a link to an existing image on the web. Good luck!

You need somewhere to store them online like Photobucket or Imageshack

If you go the p'bucket route it's something like this ...


1. Create a free http://photobucket.com/ account.

2. Once you've done that create an album within p'bucket.

3. Click on upload

4. Browse to where your photos are stored on your PC and hit upload.

5. Once they've uploaded and you've saved them you'll be shown thumbnail images of them on your album.

6. Right click on the IMG code under the picture you want, go to your thread and right click and paste it in.

Shewie mentioned the route a lot of people take or alternatively you can click on the paper-clip icon when your making a post, this will let you attach photos to your post. In order to to see the paper-clip icon you will need to click the "Go Advanced" button to the bottom right of the box you type in

Thanks for taking the time to explain Rich

How does that work then Ash ? Do the pics get uploaded to your server somehow ?
