Do you want to use a pic on your computer as you AVATAR? Or do you just want to post you pic here?

 

I believe he wants a picture from his computer as an avatar.



OP: the image would have to be re sized to make sure it's not to big. There are some folks here who could do it for you without a problem. I'll try to find the "clean your old avatar" thread..

i need to use a pic stored in my computer(my pictures in c drive) to use next to my name. thanks for trying to help.

right, that is called an AVATAR. You need to make sure the picture is of the correct dimensions, then it must be up-loaded in your profile.

 

















 

The picture size for avatars is 175x95 pixels.  If you need it resized just post the picture here and someone will do it.  To post pictures here you can see this thread.

I am about to hit the sack Gunnrunner, if you dont get help in 12 hours pm me and I'll resize the picture for you somehow..  its 9 pm and I gotta be up early for work otherwise I'd help yah out tonight (sorry).

thank you 2t2-crash.sleep  well

In order for other people to see your pictures they have to be uploaded from your computer to a web site that acts as a host for your pictures on the Internet.  Your computer can't do this by itself.
I use a place called Photobucket.
http://photobucket.com/
http://photobucket.com/about
http://register.photobucket.com/?ref=joinus
After you register there for a free account you can upload pictures from your home computer to their computer, which is visible on the Internet.  You and others can then directly view or hot link to your pictures.
Here's a picture I uploaded to my Photobucket album, both as an address to it, and as an embedded picture here.

It does take some practice, but Photobucket makes the process as easy as possible, and it's FREE.
