Oh...well, in that case, upload the pic first and then go change your profile from the upper menu.

You can link to pictures hosted elsewhere by using the "Img" button when composing a post.  This site can't host the pictures for you.

to link the pictures, you need to end up with some "code" in your post that looks like this:

Code Select Expand

[img]<link to your picture somewhere on the Interweb[/img]
For example here's a link to a picture of my car taken last year sometime:

Code Select Expand

When placed into a post, this results in the following:


If you can remember to re-size your picture for the benefit of those using dial-up or mobile connections, then that would be appreciated.  I find 600x400 or 500x 350 are good sizes, and saving in a "web colours" format also reduces the size still further.  Most image processing programs will do this for you.

For an avatar (that picture thing in the left margin), just place the link (no [img] tags required) into the box on your profile page, and it will be shown next to all of your posts.

HTH,
