I'm a bit of a computer dummy. I took some pictures of Snickers and wanted to use one as my Avatar pic, like so many of you do. I went into my profile and it wants the URL site. Is there a way to load it directly from my computer file? Thanks for the help.

No - you have to put the photo onto a hosting site such as photobucket. It needs to be resized on your own computer and then uploaded to the hosting site. Once uploaded you will get a series of links and that's what you use to post your picture. Use the direct line for your avatar but you can use the one in tags to post a photo in your thread. Please check the rules first as we do have size limits for both avatars and pictures posted to threads. There is a tutorial as well on how to resize and post pictures. The tutorial explains how to resize with free software Irfanview but if you have photoshop etc on your computer you can use that as well. If you are still having problems just shout and some of us can talk you through it. wheekers.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=feedback&action=display&thread=6185
