Hello,
I'm new here. How do I attach a photo to my profile?  I do not belong to Facebook, Myspace, Photobucket, etc? 
Thank you,
RPM

Thank you Scatter,
I'm still having trouble. I posted my photo on Flickr, entered the http:// etc. into the box under my profile. Then what?  There is not a submit or enter button? How do I submit the photo?
Thank you once again,
RPM

RPM,

Go to your flickr account and bring up the picture that you want to use and right click on it.  Click on Properties on the bottom of the list of choices and you'll get a pop-up window for Properties.  Highlight and copy the Address (URL) that's roughly in the middle of that window and paste that where you pasted your defective link last time.  For example, the address for my avatar looks like this:  http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1353/3353837406_43c4e3b1a7.jpg?v=0

Give it a shot.

Make sure your pic is marked for "public" viewing  too...

[RPM]

So where is the "Public" viewing checkbox?  I remember seeing it before, but cannot locate it.  Is it in Flickr or UMA? Sorry for all the problems I'm experiencing.

Is it in Flickr or UMA?

That would be in your flickr account, but I don't know where, 'cause I use http://imageshack.us/ because it's less hassle. Just upload your pic, then copy the direct link. That's it!

[RPM]

Thanks guys,
I think I have it now,

Newbie problem, i'm sure.
But a few pictures I've posted have disappeared.  I checked my account on imageshack and they have dropped off there.  Is there a way to restore these pics?

Fester, the fault lies with ImageShack. Once the pics dropped off THERE, they were no longer available for linking HERE.

2 possible solutions....

1) Re-upload the lost images to ImageShack, then modify the posts here where the pics USED to be to include the new URLs. Then wait for it to happen again, as it seems to so often with ImageShack.

2) Get a Flickr account, upload the pics there, and fugeddaboutit.

I'm on my way to Flickr.
Thanks!

I never have any problems with ImageShack.

Really?? MAN, I had nothing but trouble with them. And now it's 2 against 1 in the indictment of ImageShack.

All the pics I ever uploaded to this board are at ImageShack and, as far as I know, they're all still visible.

But you are MIKE SCOTT. I am simply a peon.  Seems like preferential treatment to me. Now I hate ImageShack even more.
