Title: Profile Pic: how to?
Post by: Neil Da BOMB J on August 25, 2011, 08:05:16 PM: Hey, I was trying to get a pic of the internet and make it my Profile Pic. I tried copying and copying with URL or watever it was. Is it just impossible to take random pics of the Internet and make'em your PP. Or am I doing something wrong?

The URL of the image, not the page it's on. Just to clarify.

What I do is I right click the picture, select properties, copy the URL, and paste into the url field. It works pretty good in my opinion.
