Lucky for you, I'm up late tonight and had time to consult a manual for your specific problem.
Here's what I found out :

• A - There's a good chance that the reason the formula offered to help you post a picture, does not fit your specific device.
• B - Your device possibly comes with a complicated language suite which, when the user (you) tries to make a post with a picture, the language suite cannot properly untangle the mishap between New Zealand semantics vs. English-based speaker semantix.
• C - Speaking of New Zealand, I found out that it's nearly 8K+ miles from the US mainland, therefore, because you're there and we're here, there's a slight chance that applying a remedy might work.
• D - The Remedy: According to the fake diagnostic manual in my library of manuals, it recommends, and it's not a light suggestion either, to find the nearest Femme in your neighborhood (or town) and pull them aside to show them your device and explain to them how you need their help to figure out what to do next. Fortunately, this remedy duals as a back-door approach to flirting with said Femme from your hometown neighborhood and also acts as a natural invitation to join you at this website, whereby both of you will naturally become the best of friends and therefore, it's likely you'll not only solve the "why I can't post a picture" problem, but also benefit by having an enjoyable mutual dialogue with a beautiful Femme who resides near you.

Seriously though, I'm not sure how to help you. But I'm thinking that it's an issue directly associated with the device you are using. Are you using a computer (i.e., a notebook or a desktop or something like that)?? Or, are you using a particular kind of phone (Android)? I think possibly if you talk it over with Parker or Linus (if they've got some spare time on hand), maybe either one of them will be able to help you figure it out. If not them, maybe another member on the boards will be able to help you sort it out; hopefully they'll come along soon!


Sorry, puddin', I wish I could have been more helpful
(I'm hoping my fake analysis gave you a laugh or two, though).

I had a thought - I was thinking of posting a pic of something in a thread but posting it to my gallery first, then I remembered that you (general you) cant grab the url of the pic from the galleries here bc you cant right click the pics (to keep people who dont own them from saving them, I assume), so I was going to grab the link in the address bar and just link to the pic in my gallery.

It made me wonder where you are getting the url for the pic(s) you want to post in threads/sig - are you right clicking and selecting "copy image url" or are you grabbing the link from the address bar?

If you look at your information to the left of any post, you will see it says My Photo Gallery and is underlined. That's a quick link to it that I usually use.

I believe that thread was deleted - the owners created it when the gallery went down, but once the gallery was back up, they closed and *I think* deleted the thread.

You can get to your or another specific member's gallery as Gemme suggested: click on the "My Photo Gallery" link to the left of your/their posts, just under your/their avatar, join date, and location.

If you want to go straight to the main gallery page, you can do so from the BFP home page - to the left of the screen, there is a column of black buttons with pink lettering. Third one from the bottom, just above the chat room and home page is "Photo Gallery." Click that and you will be on the gallery's main page. From there, you can click on random photos, see the most recently uploaded, look in specific categories, or go to your own gallery by clicking on "My Photos" in the top pink line, just below the green line with things like User CP, Community, and Arcade on it.

If all of that was a bit much or confusing (I am more visual myself, so written directions dont always work for me), there is a thread called BFP How To Videos in this same "Questions from Members/ Troubleshooting" forum that has more info on the gallery, how to get there, and what to do when you're there.

Just bumping in case someone new needs a little help.

[Gemme]

Oh snap. I totally misread your question, fb. Thanks for the correct response, Parker.

Hi,

Is it not possible to have a profile picture? I am a non-paying newbie.

Cheers,
Mathilda

[Parker]

Hey Falcon ~

To upload profile pics and custom avatars, a member just needs to have a subscription of BFP Supporter II or above. You can see the different subscription levels and their corresponding options --> HERE <-- or by clicking on the black and puink "Subscriptions" button on the home page.

" above the empty text box, you will see a row of formatting icons. The 4th icon is a picture of a postcard with a stamp on it, is the icon you will select when desiring to include a photo in your post. "


Do the formatting icons only appear for folks with paid subscriptions? Also, is this what is meant by "attachments"? .. where it says that "You may not post attachments" I know, I know!!!but I have almost zero tech vocabulary..........
