How do you post a picture for your avatar again? What size does it have to be. Need step by step instruction as somehow I will mess it up.

Picture Posting Instructions;
Your photos must be stored online in order to post them.
I suggest using;
www.photobucket.comor
www.mysticcolorlab.comSharemation is a real pain. Don't use it!
These instructions apply for all OTHER photo storage web sites.
First!
Resize any pictures you'd like to post to a maximum of 400x600 pixels. Larger pictures distort the forum page and take longer to load.
Avatar pictures should be 120x120 pixels maximum.
Upload your pictures to your chosen site by following their instructions.
The main page of your photo album is generally displayed in thumbnail format for reference purposes. These thumbnails are usually suitably sized for use as avatar pictures to be added to your profile.
To add an avatar (picture etc.) to your profile;
Right click on the thumbnail and choose "Copy Image Location"
Open your MyFishfinder profile and paste the address to the "I have my own picture" box and check that box. Your avatar should be displayed in all your posts. You can change your avatar at any time.
To post full sized (400x600 max) pictures;
Open your photo album;
Click on the thumbnail to view the full sized picture.
Right click on the picture and choose "Copy Image Location"
Go to your posting area at MyFishfinder.
The "Add BBC tags:" tool bar is at the top of every message dialog below the "Subject" dialog box. In the lower row, click on the 4th icon from the left...the "Add Image" icon.
The command [ img][ /img] will appear in your text message.
Paste the address of your picture between the commands like this;
[ img]paste your image location here [ /img]
Be sure not to add any spaces or other characters.
Preview your post to be sure your picture is there and then choose
