uploading a gif or image

[Ace]

Wrong generation for me with PC's, but can somebody explain how to upload a pic for my profile, in SIMPLE LAYMANS TERMS!!! Don't wanna know all the poncey jargon, something 'nice and not too taxing on my brain'
Cheers y'all

Simple.
Copy and paste the url from the picture to your profile.
You know how people link pictures to this site? Where they say "Who is this girl" and you see a picture?
Just do the same thing in your profile page.

So just click MY PROFILE; EDIT PROFILE; and copy the url into the provided place.

Sorry Holden, whats a URL and how do I paste it?
I KNOW you are banging your head against the wall!!!!!!!!
Oh, see a reply to a post you made regarding Ally McBeal

grim news - we've decided to nix the use of images in signatures. brucie boy is scaring the horses and we can't afford to take on the animal rights brigade.

of course, you can offer the poor sod a home on your profile page. i hope he doesn't take it too personally.

first of all you need to find an image on a site that will allow you to hotlink it.
by that i mean you have to link directly to the image and not the page the image is on.

for instance this image: [img]http://www.kinkylove.co.uk/images/rebek ... ex_002.gif[/img]

is on this page: but the address of the image is actually: http://www.kinkylove.co.uk/images/rebek ... ex_002.gif

you can find the address of an image by right-clicking on it with your mouse and selecting 'Properties' - this will show you the address. highlight the address by dragging your cursor over it, hold down the control button on your keyboard (bottom left-hand corner) and hit the letter 'C'. this copies the exact address. go to the edit page of your profile, click in the 'Image' text box, hold down the control button again and this time hit the letter 'V'. this will paste the address into the entry box. press 'Save Changes' at the bottom of the page et voil?.

if you find an image you want to use but are still having difficulties, tell me where it is and i'll enter it for you, if i can.

It was the arm flapping thing wasn't it?
Actually I thought it might take a while to load up on the 56k crew.
Fair enuf.
Is a regular little picture or tiny gif allowed?

Ace. A URL looks like this....
http://harley.pcl.ox.ac.uk/~mark/beavis/beavbutt.gif
or this
http://bgafd.co.uk/forum/read.php?f=3&i=15919&t=15892

To make it clickable on the boards, you put a at the end.
On your profile, you dont need to put the Just copy the http:www.blah blah blah bit.

'fraid not - we're only allowing text in signatures.

you could try following lizards example and get creative with the keyboard. policing some sort of 'maximum image size' regulation would be too much of a hassle, to be honest.
