    In the left corner of the page, click on User Control Panel, click the Profile tab, then click on Edit Avatar on the left. Let me know if you need any further help.

    I was wondering the same thing. I see where to go to do it I just don't know how. How do I edit a picture to be the right size then put it on there? Maybe I'm just dumb lol

    Nah, not dumb. I use an image editing program to resize 'em. If you have trouble, you can email it to me at admin@thesteelersfans.com and I'll see if I can resize it for you real quick.

    *Oops, looks like Numbah beat me to the punch.

    Numbah must`ve removed his original reply.
    What "Image editing" program do you use?
    I had the same problem.
    Have several cool pics I could use, but couldn`t "edit" them down, with "paint", or "Windows image viewer", or whatever else I have on my computer, that I tried, so I went with a basic, small logo... :confused:

    I use Photoshop personally. I know you can resize them right in Photobucket though, if you're familiar with photobucket.

    Thanx. Will have to look into getting Photoshop, or something.
    I have seen some pix on Photobucket, from links ppl have provided, never really looked into using it myself.
    Is photoshop available as a free download if I search the web, or is it a program I would have to buy?

    It's a web hosting site. It's free. Just register to make an account, and then upload any pics you want.

    Edit: whoops. I misread that as photobucket. Photobucket is free. Photoshop may not be.

    But you can find photo editing programs free on CNET.

    I'm running windows xp and I just did a right click on the picture on my PC and there was a "resize pictures" option in the menu. It opened up another menu and if you click the "advanced" tab it will give you the option select "custom" and then enter fits a 160 by 160 screen. It will then save another version of your photo with (custom) in the name. Then I was able to select the custom sized photo for my avatar.

    Go to-
    User Control Panel>Profile Tab>Edit signature on the left>Click the Img BBcode button on the toolbar and paste your gif url in between the Img tags. Hit Submit and you should be all set.

    At the top of the page, click on the forum actions menu link, then General Settings. Scroll down to Date & Time Options and select your time zone, then save changes at the bottom.
