Exactly how...

How does the Picture Section in your profile work?
Do you type in the URL of an image? Do you have to use the [IMG] and/or [URL] tags in VBcode?

I tried [IMG], it didn't work. I tried , the HTML, it didn't work. Apparently it's a text field like the xIM fields. (AIM, MSNIM, ICQ)

Which brings me to a suggestion - in addition to either making the picture link or display, could you make the xIMs link to the IM program? Like AIM would be USERNAME.

EDIT: Here's how you use the pictue field - put in an ASCII smiley like :-) or ^_^.

I lost you after the second sentance.
Could you explain that again?

or u just do {IMG}the link{/IMG} with [] instead of {} ;)

The picture field doesn't automatically display the pic or link to it. Neither can you force it (from my experience/experiments) to link to the picture or display it using vB [img or url] or HTML code. The picture field gives the text of the picture URL, without a link. Similarly, the instant messenger accounts give the text of the ScreenName, not a link to IM the person.

I suggest that a tech staffer add the appropriate links into the View Profile so clicking on a ScreenName will IM the person, and clicking and/or looking at the Picture will show it. (Preferably clicking, pictures could be too big.)
