cant upload profile pic

I cant upload a pic for my profile. I also would like to change my gay ass user name.

If you want to change your user name, then you'll need to email (or PM) Igor. I have no trouble uploading pictures. Are you useing http://www.automotiveforums.com/upload/ to do that or some other place hosting them?

to tell you the truth i don't even own a pc. i just tried to right click save some random pics off the net to "my pictures" and then type in the title on the upload page. i'm doing what it says; only jpg and smaller than 100kb. what am i doing wrong?

:rolleyes:

You need to type the full path of the pic. Or browse and find it on your HDD.

hmmm, i agree... what's a HDD and how do i find the path? bear with me here, i know this is pretty trivial for someone of your status. forgive me i'm an idiot.

HDD refers to your hard drive. The path is that c:\<directory name>\<filename>.jpg that you want to upload. When you do a browse you'll see the following

Click on the folder that represents your directory and then in there the next directory (until you find the location with the filename you are looking for. Just double click on the filename when you find it and viola - you'll be ready to upload.

If you know where the file is but don't understand the pathing. By going into its properties (right click on the item and select the "properties" option) and you'll see the path as part of its description.

I doubt you're stupid at all, just unfamiliar with moving around a PC. You may want to take a tutorial on traversing Windows (assuming you are on a PC and not an Apple) Try this location to get underway. http://www.calvin.edu/academic/rit/tutorial/os/navigate_folders.htm
