how do I put a picture next to my login name?

 

Go to User CP in the bar above the posts. Then click on edit avatar on the left hand side. The pic has to be pretty small to meet the requirements. 14.6KB or less I think. I'm working on getting one to that size myself.

 

waldersha nailed it on how to upload one.

Here are the Avatar Guidelines:

Avatar Guidelines

You have the ability as a Registered User here at DTR to have an avatar. An avatar is a small image that appears next to your username in a post. You can choose to use or not use an avatar in the User CP (Control Panel). If you choose to use an avatar you may choose any from the avatar library we have here at DTR or you may upload your own.

If you choose to upload your own avatar there are some rules you will have to follow. First is image size, the avatar is limited to 65 X 65 pixels. The second is file size, the maximum file size for an avatar is 19.5 KB (kilobytes). GIF and JPEG (or JPG) files are acceptable. The third and most important rule is that there are NO INAPROPRIATE AVATARS ARE ALLOWED! This includes, sexual, insulting, derogatory, or anything otherwise in poor taste. If you think an avatar image may be questionable DO NOT POST IT!. Contact an Administrator or Moderator first for avatar approval.
