Do you have a photobucket account?  That's what I used and it's free and pretty easy.

whats a photo bucket?

Hee hee. She means go to http://photobucket.com/, and click the big green Join Now button. It really is free, just give them an email address. If they ask for anything else, decline.

Once you have an account there, you can upload pictures to photo bucket. If you want one to put by your name, make it a square to avoid distortion.

Then you need to get the link to the photo. If you go to your photo on photo bucket, there will be several versions of links below it. Click on the one that says Direct Link. You should see a little yellow rectangle pop up that says Copied.

Now go to your profile page, and click on the section titled Forum Profile Information. The first entry is "I have my own pic". If you right click in the box there, you can paste the link from photo bucket. Then just scroll to the bottom of the form and click the Save Changes button.

Okay, it is not as easy as pie, but it is doable. :)

Cheza -

I didn't realize you were a blonde either.  For some weird reason I pictured you as a brunette.

Anyway, it's nice to finally put a face with your name.

Thanks for the picture  ;D

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

I'm so glad you said a young suzanne somers, I'm 1/2 her age!! Mind you if I look that good in another 30 years I won't be complaining....lol

Thanks everyone for your kind words, that picture was taken when I was a bridesmaid for my best friend last july, it was a fab day, I really like that picture because it was the best I'd looked since the op, I had just about got my simple smile back, being on the wedding photos was really worrying me because I couldn't smile but they turned out quite good, I still can't do a cheesey smile  ;D but I like the simple smile I have.

Thanks everyone Cheryl XxX  :-*
