Arron would it be possible to make it so all the members could post pics with their posts so we could be closer. I think seeing one another would bring a personal touch to this great web site. People with M.S need that personal feeling instead of that far away feeling we get when we leave the neurologists office, thx. rob

I totally agree. This is something, along with chat, that I've got on my wish list to make happen. In fact, those are #2 and #1, respectively. I hope to get to it by early August!

Hope. Smile

ha, cool. in the meantime maybe we can put up posts in introductions with photos in them, then we can link to those posts in our signatures of other posts.

hey arron i was checking out the avatar thing and the 'upload from your machine' option is disabled. when we get to do our own pics is that where we'd go, only it won't be disabled any more?

hey Robbie... the picture has to be a link ending with .jpg or .gif.

The way to do it would be to find the image you want online, then right click on it (if using a PC), and click 'properties.' You will see something akin to URL or Location, beginning with "http://"

Copy that whole thing and put it in between the image tags as you did above.

sorry Robbie, that's still not the code to the image file... I'm not sure how it's being presented over at MSN, maybe they don't let you link to it...

If you want to try one more time, just right click directly on the image, hit 'properties' then copy the entire value in 'location'... it should end in a ".jpg" or a ".gif".

The other thing you can do is upload the image to a free host like

http://photobucket.com

which then provides you the right link automatically Smile

hope this helps!

Robbie,

Worth the wait - and both of you so much better looking than Jimmylegs and her attempt at a Greek Goddess look.
