There are a few good ones, the one I use is Photobucket.com, you can do a search on the theme you want, select the graphic you like, copy the IMG and paste on the page of the person you want to send it to. This is the way I do it, I don't know if there is an easier way, but it works for me.If you want to practice, go, do it and use my page to practice, let see if it works

Don't you have to save the pics to your album? That is what I do, then copy and paste in message.
There are so many sites, I just do a search for graphics.

OK, I got it now!
The first time I tried I copied it and it just pasted the link.
But I figured it out.
Thanks!

When you get the picture you want, right click and save picture as is, I use My Pictures folder. Then go to your user cp/ albums and upload them.
Save and then you find the one you want to send, right click, copy then go to the messenger and paste.
This is how I do it, someone else might have an easier way.

You don't have to save the to your computer or an album, some sites such a Photobucket give you the "IMG" code, which stands for image code. This is the code you can paste and the picture will show up as a picture and not just a link. Some sites call it the BB code or bulletin board code for a graphic, this code can also be use to paste pictures. So remember, if a site gives the BB or IMG code, you can use these without saving to an album. Here's an example of a site that gives you the IMG code or BB code. Special friend bear Comment Code You can also do a google for graphics and "comments". Some sites only give the codes that can be used at places like "My space", and in these cases you have to save the graphic to an album on YT or a photohosting site, such as Photobucket.

If using Phototbucket look for the "IMG" codes as shown in this picture.

I have a thread that tells how to make an avatar. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ng-avatar.html. The thread gives a link to a free program that allows you to group several pictures into one file called a "gif" file. I have made avatars for several people, but I really don't have the creative touch, like some of the other members. Peanut has a thread, and all you have to do is post your favorite pictures on it, and she will design an avatar that is to die for. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/tes...vatars-55.html. What's nice about having the program, is that you can edit your Avatar if you want to add a picture or subtract a picture for the Holidays, but if you don't have a creative flair Peanut definitely knows how to make some gorgeous ones.

On photobucket - you do have to save to your album, in case the image is later deleted from photobucket. If saved to your album, it will always be present wherever you post it. But if you don't save it, and then it is deleted from photobucket, which often happens, then it shows up as a deleted message on the page and the cute graphic is no longer there. This won't always happen, but it happens enough that I always save to my album before posting on someone's profile page.

of course, maybe photobucket has changed and saving to the album is no longer necessary, idk, but this is the way it was in the past.

You are right, and if you really like a graphic, it's best to save to your album. However, the profile pages turn over pretty fast, and the the greeting usually will stay around for a few days anyway. The surest way of course, is to save to your own album, and don't delete it or move it!
