Seemore and the Mrs. AGAIN. HELP US PLEASE!!! We have tried to put in a picture under our name.
We have copied the "www....." and pasted, we have copied the file, pasted, etc.

Seemores,

If using photobucket I think you want to use the direct link. Mine starts with http:\\i281.photobucket.com\albums.......... (no www.)

I uploaded mine. Although it was sized appropriately for an avatar.

Try this

Go to your profile check of the box that says " I will upload my own picture"
Then click on the button that says Browse.
You should be able to pick a picture right of your own computer

I upload mine from my computer also. If your file is too large the site will time out and cancel the operation. So I first resample the image size. I generally go down to around 320x240 picels, at around 96 pixels per inch. Then upload following the instructions Brian has posted.

Hi Brian (Bradley HR)
You mentioned to go the the box "insert your own picture'
where would that be. I can't find it on the reply page.

Thank

You select the "Profile" tab near the top of any page. Once your in your profile, on the left hand side you select "Forum Profile Information" and your there...

Thanks Mike,
I missunderstood the issue. I thought it was to post picts on a topic, not to post your pic on your profile. As you can see in my profile, I already have a picture with my profile.
So the best way (i've never done it yet but will soon) to post pictures on a post it to use Photobucket I prsume.

I use Photobucket myself and a lot of members here do as well. There are others as well but that is what I use. Here is a link to a really good "how to" write up by FLBentRider for PhotoBucket.

Thanks everyone for the feedback and suggestions. Due to Scott's long hours due to driving in snow storms, and me trying to keep the driveway/sidewalk/deck clean, we have not been out to try these suggestions yet, but plan to soon.
If we still can't get it to work you can bet that we will be getting back to you!
Thanks again - you are all such a wonderful bunch of people!! :)
