How do you put pic in profile?

How do I put Ellie's pic in the profile? ..... I tried using URL from my hosting site.... doesn't seem to work.

Ruth - which hosting site do you use?   I have mine in Flickr and it wouldn't take a full size picture - I had to use the thumbnail.  Try that and let me know if it works.....we gotta see Ellie !!!

I have been using VillagePhotos.
It's not working yet ...... I'll keep trying.

I an putting       " http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-10/862451/PottedEl.jpg"
in the URL spot .... is that correct?

[Barb]

the link looks right - but do you have a choice between a thumbnail version (smaller) than the full size?  The thumbnail may have a different address.

Ruth - I have a message out to Drew to see if you can upload your picture to your own photo gallery here and then use it in your profile - I will let you know.....

Hang in there !

The key is to stay within the avatar restrictions 100x100 pixels. You can upload the images to your gallery here and use the thumbnail it generates as your avatar.  :thumb:

I will be posting several "How To" threads when I get home tonight so people don't have to keep strugling with the same issues.

Ok we did it ...............
according to the "logged in time" ..... it took 4 HOURS and 27 MINUTES ........ maybe, just MAYBE that little bit of information is something I could do without!!!
