    Go into Control Panel.</p>

    Down right hand side, under the password bit there are two boxes - &quot;Upload profile image&quot; and &quot;Set external profile image URL&quot;</p>

    Use the browse button next to the former to select a picture file off your PC, or the latter to use an image off the web. To find the URL of an image on a webpage, right click on it and go into Properties, then copy and paste the bit starting &quot;http&quot; into the Set external profile image box. Note that this is the preferred way as it does not waste Citytyke's bandwidth, whereas uploading an image off your PC does. For this reason, the size of images you can upload of your PC is strictly limited, so the first way doesn't always work. To get an image off your PC onto the web so you can use the latter way, go to imageshack</p>

    Once you've made the desired changes, click the &quot;Submit&quot; button at the bottom of the page. </p>

    </p>

    PS I notice the pic you're attempting to use is on Kodak Galleries. KG really sucks for image hosting for forum use - copy the picture up to imageshack.</p>
