I would like to put a picture of my 86' up in the left hand corner like a lot of you guys have but do not know how to do this. Remember, I am not very good on these computers. Advice would be appreciated. I have a digital camera.

Thanks in advance.

It's called an avatar. You can add it by going to the control panel. Used to be that you had to have at least 100 posts to have one, but I think that does not apply anymore. It does have to be a certain size though. BTW post some big pics of it.

If I needed a certain number of post to do it, that would be fine. Did not know.

OK, this may be a stupid question. Where is this control panel?

Not a stupid question at all. The name is abbreviated. I circled it in red for you in the picture below.

After you get in there, click on "edit avatar."

Once you take a digital picture, you need to resize it. The instructions say "Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 100 by 100 pixels or 24.4 KB (whichever is smaller)." If that does not mean anything to you, PM (Private Message) me, or ask in this thread. Someone can help you with resizing the photo.
