Okay, first post the photo in the "So you want to be in pictures" forum.
Then right-click on that pic, then click "Properties", then copy the URL for that pic, either copy and paste it to a text editor (Notepad, Word, etc) or just copy it, or write it down.
Then go into "My Space", "Profile", "Edit your avatar", "Custom avatar" button, then paste or type that URL into the "Use Custom URL:" text box, click "preview" to preview it, click "select this one", then close that box, then click "submit".

NOW try quoting what someone else wrote!
It's easy - down in the lower right corner of every post, there are 2 icons. The one on the left is a folder with quotation marks on it - just click that on anyone's post, and then add your comments.
You can also edit your own posts so that you don't have to post umpteen million times to get something right - on your own posts there are THREE icons - the one in the middle is a folder with a pencil with an eraser on it. Click that on one of your own posts, and you can change what you had written before.
It's especially fun after someone has responded to what you wrote, then you change what you wrote, and the responder end's up looking like the hind end of a horse! Hilarious!

How do I just put the part that I want in quotes from someone elses post? It didn't work when I hilighted one paragraph of your post, either and then clicked on the left icon of your post.

You click the left icon, immediately to the right of "posted January 22, 04 09:03 AM", and it will put EVERYTHING from my post between the [ quote ] [ /quote ] tags.
Then you just delete what you don't want to include.
There is another way - highlight, copy and paste. Start out with a [ quote ] tag, then highlight and copy and paste from someone's post, then put the [ /quote ] tag.

hOpe this works with deleting part of it.

Steve,
How do I post it in the pictures forum? Everytime I try, I can't get the paste command?

Read the "How To" post in that forum, and then if you have more questions, ask again.

Steve,
I had a real picture of a waterbuffalo, but couldn't get it to paste in so I just decided to stop trying for now.
Thanks, anyway!

Steve,
Well, I did it with a lot of help from you!
How do you think it looks?

Not too bad, could be a little sharper.
Do a web search for more pix, this one was a cut and paste from a Word document, so it probably lost a lot of detail.

Ok. Thanks. Maybe I'll look on Dogpile. Google didn't have much.

Upon further reflection, that may be about as detailed and about as nice a pic of a waterbuffalo that you may find.
Any other larger pic is naturally going to lose detail when it gets shrunk.
This one actually looks pretty good.

Congratulations!
You just have to make sure that you don't delete the final part, which is easy to do - I've done it.

Just outside of Chicago, right smack dab across the street from O'Hare airport.
I'd say about 6 hours driving time, with moderate traffic.

We drive that in, usually, four. I sent you a private msg.
Also, is there a way, after you've already posted, to edit what you write without the "the msg. was edited...blah, blah, blah" at the end.
Not that i'm tryin' to make anyone look like a horses's a**, but just wondered. LOL.

If you edit your post within the first 5 minutes of your posting, that message won't be there.
And I got the PT, thanks!
