What are user pictures and how do I upload them?

User pictures are icons or avatars used to represent yourself, your moods or feelings, your interests, etc. They are displayed in many locations on InsaneJournal, including your userinfo page, your journal, the friends view of people who list you as a friend, comments, support requests, and the comments pages of your entries. In certain situations, you are given the option of selecting the user picture you'd like to use, rather than only displaying your default user picture.

To upload your user pictures, visit [http://www.insanejournal.com/editpics.bml#upload].

The picture must be a .GIF, .JPG, or .PNG. The actual picture can be no larger than 100x100 pixels, and the file size cannot be greater than 100kb. The image file must be on your local computer, or be accessible via a URL.

After entering your username and password, click on the "Browse..." button beside the file box, and find the image on your computer. Alternatively, you can select the URL option and then type in the Internet location of your image. Submit the form, and your default picture will appear on your journal (as long as the journal style you have chosen supports user picture display), on your profile, and when you make a comment.

To set your default picture, enter keywords, enter user picture comments, or delete your pictures, go to [http://www.insanejournal.com/editpics.bml].

To view all your current user pictures with their keywords, see[http://www.insanejournal.com/allpics.bml].
