here you go, Dr... you do need a pic on a website (can't upload directly from your harddrive)
1. Post a picture of yourself on a website such as Photobucket, KodakGallery, Frappr, etc.
2. Once the picture is posted completely on one of these site, take your mouse and "right click" directly over the picture.
3. Slide the mouse to "Properties"
4. In the pop up window, highlight the entire line showing the picture location, then do a "copy" command (you can hold down the control button on your keyboard, then hit the letter "C")
5. Log on to the forums and go to your profile.
6. Once in your profile, down the left side, choose "forum profile information"
7. Once in "forum profile Information", chose the field that says (at the top) that you have your own picture.
8. "Paste" (Control button and the letter "V") the properties link you copied in step 4.
9. Once pasted, go to bottom of page and "save" your changes.
(I need a raise!)
