Before you start...

You need to be a Registered User and you must be logged into EZboard. The picture has to be square and is limited to 10 x 10 pixels

You cannot post a photo directly from your hard drive. The photo or graphic you want to post has to be on a web server first, which means it has to have a URL, which means it's address looks somewhat like this: http://www.mywebserver.com/myphoto.jpg

Find pictures...

If you don't have your own webserver, you can use web photo services like e.g. www.photobucket.com to upload your own photos. If you don't have any of your own you can look for pictures on search engines like www.google.com and do an image search based on your key words.

How to get a picture's URL...

In your web browser (Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox,..) right-click on the picture you want and then select "Properties". In the box highlight the URL shown, right-click again and select "Copy"

If you have your photos in a web photo account, you will see a list under the photo, that has a choice for

1. URL Link
2. HTML Tag
3. IMG Code

Use the URL Link, highlight it, and copy it

Include the picture in your EZboard profile....

After you logged into EZboard click on the link "My Control Center".



In Control Center click on "Account Preferences"



In the Account Preferences scroll down to the section "Posting & Messaging" and right-click into the Use Personal Icon URL entry field and and select "Paste". Your URL link should go right in.



Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the button [Save Changes].

Go back to the message board. Your personal icon should now appear beside your user name when you create a new post.

That's all folks!
