uploading and showing pics is described somewhat at http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...age=2If you look at a user's profile, it also shows their signature, maybe that is the pic in the profile you mean? To add a pic to your signature, see http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=13392the pic you uploaded was 2048 pixels wide, which is great and huge, but impractically too huge to display in line in a thread, so if you want to share the hi res version of a pic, just upload it, but if you want to display it in a thread, then scale it down so it's not so big, and scale it down a lot farther if you want to use it in your signature. (please) here's the first pic you uploaded scaled down to 600 pixels wide Welcome to genvibe!

Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Vibe!That is an AMAZING transformation! Great job! Did you purchase it as a project?Regarding free hosting of photos, http://www.photobucket.com is a free site (with pay features also available) for hosting pictures. I was able to join immediately, but I have heard that sometimes there is a waiting list to join.

i painted it myself, so that saved $$$$$$$$$$$! but it took me 3 days, day one painted everything silver, day2 taped off and masked twisted tangerine flames, and day 3 red flames and clearcoated the whole car.then a weeks worth of color sanding and buffing!

I'll give it a try...EDIT: After composing a lengthy message, I re-read your last post one more time and finally realized that what you REALLY asked about was posting a pic so it appears in your SIGNATURE below each message you post. OK. It DOES work. Here's how: Right click and copy the shortcut link to your desired signature pic which appears in a Genvibe message already posted, and paste it without the quotation marks, into the Signature area of your profile. This one is still HUGE for a signature pic...''I took the liberty of cropping and resizing it here:I'd recommend that you use this smaller one as your signature pic. It makes it easier to read message threads when there aren't such huge pictures in between the postings.Basically, you just link back to a picture you've already posted. As long as the picture attached to that post is not deleted, it SHOULD work. Of course, if it gets deleted somehow, a red X will appear instead of your pic in your signature line.So, more detailed instructions:(Assuming you're using Internet Exploder and Windows) 1. Post your message in one of the forums (GenVibe Lounge?) and attach your desired signature pic. (You already know how to attach a photo.)2. Once the message is posted in the forum, go back to it and right-click the underlined link to the attached picture.3. Click your right mouse button on the underlined name of the attachment, and select 'Copy Shortcut'4. Go to the My Profile link above the forum listings, and choose My Signature and edit it.5. From the open Edit screen icons, select the 'picture' icon (yellow with mountains, to the immediate right of the text formatting icons on the edit screen) and click it*.It will immediately insert the two HTML tags '[IMG]' and '[/IMG]' back to back at the cursor location into your Signature line.6. Now move the cursor to just between the middle set of square brackets '[IMG]' put the cursor-here '[/IMG]' 7. Now right click and select 'paste' to put the shortcut you copied between the IMG tags. You're linking to the URL of the attachment in the MESSAGE you posted in one of the forums. 8. When you're done, click 'Post' and the newly saved link should display the photo IN YOUR SIGNATURE line.*Alternatively, you can just type in the appropriate HTML tags before and after the pasted-in picture url, but I'm lazy!
