TS283 --- I've found that www.photobucket.com is the best and free website to hosts pictures of all types. Go to it and sign up; it allows you create albums and/or just upload photos from your hard drive or CD by choosing the file. When you upload, there is a link/button you click (Upload Options) to tell it what size you want it uploaded as an avatar, thumbnail, website picture, message board, larger size, or whatever. Afterwards, you can upload the same picture by size for various uses. After it's uploaded, just go to it in your album and/or scroll down to it and copy the URL link and bring it over here to the Fishin.com website and paste it in your profile status as applicable. Under my profile, I uploaded my "Baby in the Garage" as a thumbnail and copied it in my profile as my personal picture (which is alot easier on the eyes for all of you to view).... As my grandfather once said, "Who would have thunk a man would walk on the moon". I say, "Who would have thunk 20-years ago, a thing called the internet would be the best set of encyclopedias ever". tight lines
