As long as there is light, I will be here.

No Problem. 

1.  Upload a photo to Photobucket.com
2.  From Photobucket.com, click on the IMG link.  You will see a message that says COPIED when you do.
3.  Go to the I have my pic section of your profile on Saberforum
4.  Right click your mouse and select paste.
5.  Save and return to see it.

Sometimes the pic vanishes - I had to fiddle with it a few times to get it up and running.  If I remember correctly, after linking my pic and seeing it on the profile settings page I didn't hit save afterwards, just click to another place on the forums and I think that's what solved it (hitting save made the pic vanish).  It's been some time, but I hope that helps!

You don't need the pic to be in [IMG] brackets - just the bare link will do.

So, for example, if I wanted one of my pics to be my profile I'd paste http://imgur.com/RRslhuR into the 'I have my own pic' section.

You must click save (in my experience, anyway).

Every time I go back into that section to play with my signature or whatever, I have to re-enter the link for my picture before saving any changes. Thank heavens for autocomplete!

Mine vanished after like a week and I haven't had one since. I've gone like 6 months with out one. But now I want one again. I always had a problem with them being to big. Any ideas?

Uploaded mine from facebook avatar.

You just need some place in internet, to host your picture, and social networks work just fine for this purpose.

And after the pic is hosted somewhere in internet - put a link on it, while choosing profile picture, and whola!

I used flickr.com for mine & just used the "i have a custom image" option, which asks for the url.

Just be aware with Flickr to go right through to the image location (me being paranoid)

Hope that helps.
