How do I put a picture on my profile page? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Wanted to put a picture of my dogs on my profile page but don't know how to do it. I can (just barely) put a picture on a thread, but how do I put it on my profile page. I'm a real technodummy, so I need detailed step by step instructions. Thanks.

Also wondering where I put it? Can it just go on the profile page or does it have to be in an album? I don't even know how to start an album...

go to 'user cp' and click it (left hand side of the blue toolbar above us)
click 'user control panel'

on the new page, on the left hand side scroll down
see 'your profile'?

click 'edit profile picture'....
and from there, it's just like an avatar.

This is for the pic that will appear at top on yr profile.
Albums are another tutorial

ok, I did that and it would have worked except the pic I chose was too big. How do I resize one of my pics? I have no idea how to do that...
