How do you add a photo next to your name on posts?

Can somebody let me know how you do this?

Thanks!

Open your User CP, look at the menu on the left hand side of the screen, click on Edit Avatar, download your selected photo, click save changes et Viola !!

can you see your own photo on your own posts or have I done something wrong?

I think that you may have put your pic in your 'profile picture' and not as your avatar. User cp - edit avatar (about 6th down on the left hand side menu)

i you have a picture on your computor and the piccie you want is in a word document can that be downloaded to the avtar? if so can you please tell me how to do it. I have tried on several occasions but all I get is invalid file. thank in advance for saving my sanity.

right click on pic in word and copy
open ms paint (or similar, but paint will be on you pc as part of window, I think)
right click and paste
save file as .jpeg (somewhere where you can find again - desktop will be fine)
user cp - edit avatar - browse and select the pic file that you've created.

That's how I'd do it, anyway.
