Curious, how does a person get a profile pic on here so they don't look like bad pic art? Do I have to wait for the three days like I do for all the other profile info?

^ Hi you can go into User Control Panel and under the avatar link, either select one of the pre-picked images or upload your own one from your machine.

@ Fran, you are quick on the draw tonight, I just went to post a sarcastic reply to that spam topic only to find "this topic does not exist".

I tried to put a picture on here for an avatar but it says its too many pixels or something like that.

Yea there is a limit on the picture size, I think Scott actually increased it recently, but there has to be some limit.
Do a bit of cropping & you should be OK

Thanks, Fran. Im not exactly sure what cropping is, my computer knolledge is nil, but Ill figure it out.

You can find free image sizing online, which is what I did because I had the same problem. I had to reduce my three times to get it to work, but I finally got it right.
