ok I want to add a picture to my profile, and i have one in my document file that i'd like to use, its a Jpeg. How do i add it??? I fail to understand the 'address' concept. But then I have been using alot of silicone lately... help me see thru this adhesive haze ! :rolleyes:
p.s. Speak slowly and use small words please
 
Mystery,
Ron, Jerry and framerguy are the authorities, but, if the picture is on the net, right click on the pic, then click on 'Properties'. A window will appear. There will be a URL there. Highlight it and type 'Control C'. Then, go to your profile and, in your signature, space until you find a place to put the pic. When you do, type Control V. It should do the trick.
I probably left something out, but Ron can tell you for sure.
 
See here for at least a partial answer to your question.

Nine or ten months ago, I was asking the same question and collected an amazing assortment of answers. :confused:

And lay off the silicone unless you're caulking a bathtub. ;)
 
ok disregard that last message... arrgghhhhhhhhh!
Charles, I pasted the URL into my profile just like you told me, and guess what?
It didn't work!!!!
Any suggestions???
(i tried getting the picture from several websites just to be sure it wasnt the site, and no luck) :confused:
 
Hi UnMys,

How about posting the URL here and letting one of us check it out to see if it is complete or correct??

Mystery,
Ron can probably tell you how to do it. Barring that, the only way I know for me to do it would be for you to tell me where the pic is, and give me your login password. You could change it immdeiately after I, hopefully, got the pic posted.
One of the computer guru's would be your best bet, but I'd be glad to make good on my offer.
 
After you paste the URL address into your signature (or into a message) you must put
at the end of the address. This is the UBB code that tells The Grumble that this is an image.

If that doesn't work, try Framerguy's idea of just posting the image URL in a message on this thread, instead of in your signature, so we can have a look and see what's wrong. Even the all-powerful (nearly) moderators can't access your signature to do a diagnosis.

Time for plan B.
 
How's that, unframed_mystery?
Couldn't figure out how to use it as an 'Avatar'

If it's not suitable, let me know, and I'll do something different.
