Newbie profile picture question....
I'm a forum newbie and I do have a picture of my C5 in my forum picture profile. If it isn't coming up under my name to the left of my posts how can I correct this. While I am asking dumb questions... how can I include a couple of photos with my message when I make a post. Enjoying my millenium 2000 and the corvette forum. Thanks...

If you want it to come up under your name, then you want it to be your avatar. If it's going to be your avatar - you'll have to resize the pic so that it's no larger than 150 pixels x 150 pixels or 24.4kb.
Click on User CP at the top of the page and along the left hand side notice that you have an option to Edit Avatar Below the graphics showing some standard avatars that the CF offers, there is a box labled Custom Avatar that prompts you to upload a photo from your computer or from a hosted site. Stick the URL in the top line if your're hosting the pic or insert the file name if you're going to upload from your computer.....it's as simple as that. Just remember that the pic has to be resized according to the parameters stated on that page....

Looks like my problem is the profile size max is 250 x 250 while the avatar is 150 by 150. In a few days I will try shrinking my profile photo down further to the 150 x 150 and that will probably do it. Thanks for the help...

The Help Forum is the place you should go for all your general Forum usage and "how-to" questions. You should find a number of threads there that cover the posting of avatar, signature and other pics.
Also, the Forum has a Testing section that you should use to test your pics.
Hope this helps and welcome to the Forum!
