How do I add in my own avatar thingy. I don't completely understand the text bar. I know (or atleast I think I do) thats for the address of where the pic is, but not sure how to do that.

ps: I've never done this before, the picture thing that is.

I made a video for you showing you how. Hopefully that helps. You'll need a image hosting account. You just put the link in there.

You have to upload it to an image host (tinypic.com) copy that direct link (that ends in the images extension) then go to your profile -> forum -> add my own avatar and paste the direct link in there

Do I have to have the Image hosting site to put images in a post? EG: showcasing a game your making.

Hmmm, I am slightly confused on the question, but if you want to showcase your game images you should attach them (Make sure they are .jpg) or just go to an image hosting site copy the direct link and add [img]www.imagesite.com/ajdjfjfag'kmfg.jpg[/img] although that can get rather large.

@BiggAdd: Jing changed my life It is an excellent program that I use very frequently. It's perfect at what it does. The only downside is the 5 min limit, which is there in the pro version too. I think they feel movies past 5 minutes are too large to upload. However, the capture image + upload is amazing.

You just did exactly what I showed in my video...

If you want them to show up in the post, then yes, you do. I recommend this because it's nicer and easier to see pics in the thread than to have to click on them. Otherwise, no, you can just upload them as Utopia said.
