User Picture Help

To publish a picture of yourself, you first need to upload it somewhere on your own web site or a free picture hosting/sharing web site. We highly recommend imgur.com, for being the easiest and the least intrusive with ads.

This site should provide you with the URL of your picture, which is the location of that photo file on their servers, to share with others. Otherwise you can usually get the address by right clicking on the picture and viewing its properties. Firefox and Internet Explorer will display its origin URL. It should look something like that (this is a generic example, don't use it):

http://www.example.com/images/mypicture.jpg

Simply copy paste this address to the picture field in your edit profile page and it will show up on your page for others to see.
