How can I put up an Icon for my member name on the boards and also add pics in the posts?

Here's how to include an image in your post...

If you're trying to add an image that is already a part of someone else's website, all you need to do is get the url of that image (right click->properties on a pc I think) and enter it in the box.

If you want to post an image of your own that only lives on your computer, you need an account at photobucket.com or a comparable site that will allow you to host images for free.


as for the avatar under your username...

kinda the same deal. find an image 150x150 or smaller and grab its url as described above.

In the top right corner of every page of these boards, you'll see "Control Panel / Options" - click on it. Then click on "Edit Profile" and scroll down to where it says " Avatar URL:" and paste the url of the image you copied earlier. Click 'Edit Profile' and the bottom and you're done.

I want my User description to say something witty like SUPER DRUNKY or something equally stupid.

gabe has a good idea there and may be on to something

those are called 'user status' i think. typically, they're based on the number of posts you've made, but a few regualrs have requested custom ones that i've hooked up in the database for them. lemme know if you're interested.
