    ok to copy all you do is put the cursur over what you want to copy ..hold it down while you move the mouse over it.................................this will highlight all you want to copy......................click on the highlighted bit with the opposite mouse button.....this brings up a box .....click on 'copy' in that box

    now go to where you want to put it in...............PROFILE just under 'MAIN SITE' at the top of this page..............that will take you to your profile page.....scroll down to I HAVE MY OWN PIC.............make sure the box is ticked..................double click on the writing in the long box next to it ...........and delete...............put the cursor in that box................opposite mouse click and the box will come up again...........this time click 'PASTE'

    go to the bottom and click CHANGE PROFILE.............and your done ;D

    any probs come back ;)
  • well i've done everything you said but i can't seem to get the pic to come up. i'll keep trying
