Profile Picture
I have installed a profile picture into my "My Profile" but it does not appear in any messages I create or in replies to others' messages.

Can anyone explain?

I think you are confusing your Profile picture with your Avatar

Anyway imagine your huge Profile picture in your posts!

Avatars are small graphics that are displayed under your username whenever you post.
Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 60 by 40 pixels or 15.6 KB (whichever is smaller).
Avatars – We allow up to 70x70 pixels images, avatars fall under the same guidelines as printed text. Please no animated avatars.

Hurrah
Yep! Wonders never cease! I did try a preview of a dummy message without posting to see if the atavar showed up. It's definitely in My Profile, but I couldn't see it in the "Preview". Lets see if it shows in this reply. Cheers PB

Yep it showed. At last I'm getting somewhere.... I think? LOL

Does this mean there's hope for future "Oldies" and do I get a "Gold Star" or something and "Advance to Pre-Primary Beginner"?
