Ah, to set up y'er profile pic, ye first must 'ave a picture to use. With y'er selected picture, I'd recommend posting it to a site like tinypic or photobucket f'er the best quality and resolution. Ye may also post it directly from y'er computer, but 'twill be blurry.

To use a picture uploaded to the internet, right click the picture and click the option that says "Copy image URL". With the URL copied, just paste it in the box provided f'er uploading pictures.

If ye need a more in-depth step by step instructions, I'd be happy to provide ye with it.

What if I wanted to use a picture that I took a screenshot of from FH of one of my chars? Would that be possible or do I have to do something else with that certain pic?

Nope! Ye can upload screenshots using tinypic and photobucket no problem. The one thing ye may want to do first though is to crop the picture into a neat square. If not, the rectangle shape of y'er screenshots will be smooshed into the frame of the profile.

Yes, it is possible. However, when you take the screenshot, the size will be to big for the profile pic. In order to resize it, you can go to Tinypic and resize it to 100x100. Hope this helps. c:

What link did ye enter in as y'er profile pic? Make sure that ye used the picture URL f'er uploading pictures as avatars.

Profile Pictures:
1. Find the image you want as your profile picture.
2. Right click the image and then click "Copy Image URL," or for some browsers it's "Copy Image Link"
3. Go to Profile, then Forum Profile Information, and then check the circle that says, "I have my own pic," and then right click the blank next to it and then click "Paste."
4. Scroll down to the bottom of that page and click "Change Profile."

Signatures:
Basically the same as profile pic,
1. Find the image and copy the URL.
2. Go to Profile and then Forum Profile Information, then find the signature box.
3. Write,
Code: [Select]
[img][/img]in the box.
4. In between the ] and [ brackets, right click and paste the URL.
It should look like this:
Code: [Select]
[img]{pastedURLhere}[/img]Only, the {pastedURLhere} part should actually be your URL. xD
5. "Change Profile"

c:

Looks like you got the profile pic, but there's the signatures too, and for images in posts, it's just like signatures. You copy the image URL, and then paste it between
Code: [Select]
[img]and
Code: [Select]
[/img]c:

This is the first forum i have ever done so please forgive me if i ask stupid questions! :-[ Anyway, how do you post screenshots?

Just as Kitties said, go to any image uploading site, and upload the image. There should be a box that looks somewhat like this:

Code: [Select]
[IMG] <Direct URL of image> [/IMG]
If not, take the direct link and copy it. Paste it into your post, highlight it and then click the first button to the left on the second row, aka this button.

Some good uploading sites:

http://tinypic.com/ (http://tinypic.com/)

http://beta.photobucket.com/ (http://beta.photobucket.com/)

For Tinypic, you don't need an account. (As for Photobucket you do.)


By the way, there is no such thing as a stupid question. :)
As Enoki said, make sure you use the correct URL. For a profile picture, you need the one that says "Image Link for Emails". This is only if you are uploading a picture from the internet.
If you are uploading an image you already have, log in, and go to Profile > Forum Profile Information. You have the opportunity to either upload you own picture from your computer, or paste a url from a picture on the internet. If you have a screenshot you want to use as your profile picture, you can upload it from the folder Feralheart > screenshots.
If you wish to post a picture to your signature/thread, upload it to tinypic, and use the url that says "Image code for forums and message boards".

Good luck floof!
