1. Display the image in a browser.
2. Right click on it, and select "Copy".
3. Open Paint or other graphic editor, and paste the image in.
4. I cannot emphasize this enough: crop it or resize it to a decent size.
5. Save it to a file.
6. Go to image shack (www.imageshack.us/).
7. Follow the easy upload instructions. You don't need an account.
8. Make a note of the URL of your uploaded image. You want the direct link. For example: img219.imageshack.us/img219/1737/srd1hg.gif
9. Go to your profile.
10. Put that link into "Upload Avatar from URL"
11. Submit
12. Enjoy.
13. Send me a check or money order.

Nevertheless, Wayfriend's instructions are about as clear as one could hope for. Bravo!

Just a little suspicious about Step 13, though. :wink:

Use the tool in the top righthand corner of the drawing box.

Draw a rectanle round the image then click and hold one of the corners and drag to shrink it.

( btw img111.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitled4es.jpg that should be it. I shrank and hosted it. )
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.

And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

You can also use the "stretch/skew" option: set the two to equal numbers below 100%, and it'll shrink it, keeping the proportions.

Ahh, another "Check out my fancy new whatever" thread....sheesh. You don't even have any good superheroes in it, K-man.
When the man with a 45 meets the man with a rifle, you said the man with a pistol is a dead man. Let's see if it's true.

How do you post a picture in your signature? I'm trying to do it. I have it posted on photobucket but all that comes up is a link.

Yes, I know I have one already but I didn't put that there. Someone else did.
