Before we begin, select an image, either a .jpg or .gif, that is eye-catching, shows off what you have to offer and will entice a curious member to click your profile for more! The same rules apply for photos in the forum as the free preview section of your site, so nothing hardcore or against TOS.
VERY IMPORTANT: you MUST keep in mind the maximum file size and dimensions. Maximum dimensions: width: 150 pixels, height: 225 pixels; file size: 488.28 KiB.
Here's a still image for example:

Here's an animated .gif for example:

Now, that you've got your image selected, and in the right dimensions and file size, you're ready to add it to your profile!
First, click the link that says "User Control Panel" in the top left corner of the page.

If it doesn't work out the first time you try, don't fret, you'll get the hang of it, and if it did work out, GOOD JOB! Look how good you are at this already!
