I'v been trying to figure out how to change the picture that shows up on the post I make . when I joined the forum I picked one out of the list of them they offered and would like to put my own up . Can any one tell me  how to change this. Thanks

I saw that but did not understand the( http:/)     thing mogger7

I'll give it a try  Thanks

Rich,

1. Make your avatar photo 125 x 125 pixels and store it in your personal space using Member Control Panel>File Manager.
2. Edit profile by going to Member Control Panel>Profile.



3. Click on "Avatar Upload"



4. Choose the 125x125 pixel photo that you want to use for your avatar.

If you want to use a photo from "photobucket" or another picture hosting site, you would paste the url of the photo in the text box above the "Avatar Upload" hyperlink and click "Preview".  Again, the photo has to be 125 x 125 pixels.

HTH

Perhaps you already have an image with the same name.  If so, you will need to rename the image before you upload it.

If the image is uploaded, you will see it in the "File name" box (left).  In the above example, the image "125.jpg" is the picture of me sitting in my jeep in front of my house.  Once the image is uploaded, you just click on the image (left) and then choose OK (bottom right).

An image that is 125 x 98, will work but it will look stretched vertically when it is displayed.  That is the reason I recommend cropping the image square before you upload it but it is not necessary.

I'm sending you a PM.
