The 50megs servers are down at the moment so I can't give you exact instructions but when you log in to your account you have to go to the page to create your site and in the upper left hand corner there is a menu. You need to choose the file builder option and upload your pics there....once the site is back up I can tell you exactly how to get to that page if you can't figure it out. Good luck

sketchy, I was having the same
problem, and solved it by
emailing the pic to someone
else and having them upload
it. seroiusly, it was driving
me insane, but neither site
would let me upload jpegs.

Another helpful tip for Mac users....use Netscape 6, especially for here. IE is just awful

Actually, netscape blows. the
layout is TOTALLY screwy, any
post tat anyone has a 'qoute'
in wil end up all italicized,
and if anyone has anything
that scrolls in their sig or
whatever the entire rest of
the page will be scrolling.
It's not so nice. IE 5 for mac
works great (except for the
text wrap inserting <br> issue
which means that you can't put
html links in because they end
up with <br>s in the middle.)

i am currently playing around with both. they both work better in some ways and worse in other. i lean toward netscape becaise of the built IM and my email acct is through them. but i have problems inserting images in replys using both. i just getthe infamous red x. any ideas?

The only problem I have had using Netscape is that the scrolling text feature doesn't work, but I can live with it as long as I don't have to deal with the text wrap mess..it's annoying, and the broken links that causes. I use IE for just about everything else but for posting Netscape is just better.

Jon mentioned something in the sig pic threads about only IE being able to see bmp and bmps so the problem may be there and not with you.

I think ivy's right about netscape 6. it find it works best for post and editing profiles and sig's. I use both mac's(home) and pc's(work). a problem i always have is breaks in my psuedo-html script for me sig. this only happens when i use my mac to make the changes in my RONFEZ.NET profile. when i type the same exact thing using Win98, no breaks. I stopped tring to figure it out.
