Welcome to ECF, berg!

Once you have those 15 posts under your belt, click on Settings at the top of any ECF page. You'll see "Edit My Profile Picture" on the left. The Profile picture is what others see when they view your profile.

The pictures you see on most posts are called Avatars. You can (once you have the posts) edit that, too. "Edit Avatar" is right under "Edit My Profile Picture" on your Settings page.

Hope that helps, and Happy vaping!

Welcome to ECF, neighbor!

Ask a few questions here or there, reply to others' responses, contribute to a few discussions, and you'll pass 15 posts in no time.

If you're looking for a good local source for PVs, tanks, RBAs,RTAs, and and excellent e-liquid, Check out Detroit Vaper Shop on Starkweather in Plymouth.

He's finally in the process of dumping the remainder of his clone inventory and going 100% authentic mods and toppers. If you're into clones, everything left in-house is 50% off until 4:00 Saturday and then they're gone for good.

Thank you for asking this, somehow I missed the part that said you need 15 posts before you can have a profile pic and kept trying and it wouldn't work. That seems a little strange to me, I've been on a lot of different forums but this is the first to have a post limit before allowing you to have a profile picture.

Can anyone tell me the rationale behind that? Is it just a clever way to get people to be more social and post more or what? Just curious. :)

Actually, you CAN have an Avatar and a Profile pic right away. I'm not sure what the problem is though with you not being able to place one. If you go to Settings and see an option to Edit Profile or Edit Avatar, those options are available to you.

Make sure that you are either copying from a trusted site such as Imgur or from your computer. Make sure you click SAVE before exiting the area. Also, there are size limitations but the forum software should automatically re-size the picture for you.

Important options in your Settings: To upload a Profile picture (the pic that shows in your profile) go to "Edit Profile Picture". To upload an Avatar (the pic that shows in your posts) go to "Edit Avatar". To upload a signature (text or pic), you need to have 15 posts, then the option will appear under "Edit Signature".

The 15 posts rule is for signatures :)

Adding for additional clarity: If you see the option to do something, you are able to do it. Notice the option to edit signature is not there? When you get to that magical number, the forum does its refresh thing at 25 minutes after each hour. You will then see the option to add a signature.

I'm on mobile but it's the full website version rather than the app or mobile version. I'll try it on the computer tomorrow and see if it works then.

You do have a profile picture in your profile page. If you're looking to have it on your posts, as others do, that's called an avatar, which can be uploaded a similar way. Click Settings at top, and Change Avatar on left.

Or click this link: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/profile.php?do=editavatar
