I see you lots of you have pics under your names at the left side of the posts, I want that too. I have a picture saved but I don't know how to put it under my name. I see in the profile that I can type in a url but what if my pic is saved on my hard drive??

You'll only be able to see your pic when you're online if the pic is on your hard drive. If you can put your pic onto a web site, then it will show up all the time. Post the pic to your homepage, and then link it from there.

ummm, not really. I have it on my hard drive but when I try to load it in the appropriate place, the Dr. John server tells me it's an "invalid type"
I've tried jpg's and gif's. What other type does it want?? The size is good so I'm just confuzzled. www.jeffgordon.com

Where are you trying to "upload" it? There is an upload feature here for attaching a file to a post... that feature actually copies the file from your hard drive to DocJohn's server and puts a link into that post.
For the profile avatar (picture) though it is asking for a URL to a photo that is available somewhere on the web (with a web address). The picture first has to be uploaded to a webserver so that it has an accessible web address, and then you type the url in to the profile page. People will not be able to see your pic if you link it from your hard drive because your computer is not a web server... a good thing because you don't want people on the web accessing your files. To display the pic, the web browser loads it from the web server... following the URL link, each time someone loads that page on their computer. You wouldn't want people accessing that file on you hard drive every time they open a browser window displaying that pic, even if it were possible to do so. ------------------------------------ --http://www.idexter.com
