Ok, I know the "how to" is in there somewhere if I take enough time to try to find it....so I will take the easy way and just ask.

How do I post the small photo of my vette in the little space to the left side of my message?

 

Go to the user CP tab at the top left of the page and edit your avatar there.

 

I copy/pasted the link from photobucket, and said it was invalid.

 

Maximum size for an avatar is 150 pixels X 130 pixels, or 24 KB, whichever is smaller.

And this thread is being moved to the HELP forum in case you still have trouble setting up an avatar.

 

Avatars, Profile Pictures and Signatures

An Avatar is a small photo that is displayed underneath your username whenever you post (to the left of your message).

A Profile Picture is a photo that appears in your Profile.

A Signature is displayed underneath your messages and contain text and/or photos.
