4)In the box that pops up click "Browse",

5)Find your photo on your computer and click on the "open" button,

6)Click on the "upload" button and hope your file is not too large,

7)If the file size is ok then your file will show up in the bottom of the box as a "current attacnment",

8)Click the "close this window" button,

9)Finally click on the submit reply button (DO NOT preview your post as that will delete the attachment).

I have been able to post photo's on site, but I can't seem to get my profile photo to come up although I know it's less than 300 pixels. When I go to my profile it shows the picture, but it does not come up on my messages. What have I done wrong ?

Your profile picture is not supposed to come up on your messages. What you are talking about that you want to come up on your posts is called your avatar. You can use the same image you have in your profile if you wish, but it has to be a good bit smaller and you load it in a different place.

Go to User CP and click on Edit Avatar.

You have to click on the box that says Manage Attachments. And then follow the rest of the directions Speedy gave.
