Type the new address in your profile (Control Panel: Top Link)

Yeah, I got that far, but it has to be posted on the web first. My current picture is at http://www.dropzone.com/files/users/3b49fab0585cb6e0.jpg
How do I replace it?

Hey dude......you just need to put that web address I gave you earlier: http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/dzpic_hackey.jpg into that spot that used to have the dropzone address.
Good luck!

If you copy/paste that address into that section where it says profile pic, it will work. I just tried it on mine and it is fine. Are you doing it right?

Ok, it worked! I think what the problem was is when I copied and pasted it i left a space after the .jpg. Anyway, thanks for your help! Now I don't look like I've been squished!

Since I don't know what exactly everyone else is or isn't doing let me ask you to help me from the start. I have a pic on my computer and want to post it so it shows under my name here in the forums. What URL do I have to enter to load it? If I have to post the pic on a site to get a URL where can I post it? I don't think my web page will let DZ.com access it.

1. In your browser, right-click on the picture you want to use in your profile.
2. Select "properties".
3. Select the text behind "Address (URL)"...so the complete line behind it is selected *blue*.
4. Press CTRL-C.
5. Go to your profile at DZ.com.
6. Go to the textfield where you have to enter a picture-URL.
7. Press CTRL-V.
8. Done...enjoy. By the way: your web page will let DZ.com access it, I'm sure.

Or you can just email me the picture and I'll crop it down for you and host it on my server.

Woo hoo! Bringing up old crap I should know how to do :)

I'm in my profile trying to change my picture, the picture is @ http://www.interone.net/img/kevin922.jpg

I type the url in and hit enter, it takes me back to the main menu (with the 4 green circles) I go back in and there is no picture there.. what am I doing wrong?

Instead of trying to make dropzone.com point to some other site, why don't you download the pic to your harddrive and load it from there.

Case of cyber beer that works. (Or will at least tell you if the size is off...)

Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Looks fine to me.

[kevin922 0]

are you actually seeing a picture of me??? it is showing up as a broken image to me!

[kevin922 0]

Man that is wierd! Must be M$ for you.. i tried it with opera and it shows the picture, remote desktoped into my XP machine at home and I can see the picture.. but using the IE I uploaded it with it shows up as a broken link.. oh well, maybe a cache issue.

Thanks for your help!
