How do I take an image and put it as my profile picture? Please understand I have no clue how to upload, download, put it in "JPG", etc.

From your post, it sounds like you will need to find someone local to help you out.
Are you on a computer or some other device?

If you are on a computer, click your current avatar on the upper right side of the page.
In the new window, click 'my profile'.
In the next new window, look at the top right and click 'profile images'.
Now you will see the parameters needed for an avatar image, and below that the parameters for a header image.

If you can find someone around you that has some image editing software and can understand these parameters, they can probably work on the image you wish to upload to make it meet the parameters.

Once that is done, you will need to save the image file somewhere where you can find it to upload to this site.

I would suggest placing that file on your 'desktop' , perhaps in a folder labeled RHP images, or something that you will be able to recognize.

So now, go back to the profile images page, navigate to the folder and file on your desktop and select the file. From there you should now be able to upload the image to your account.

If you're using an iphone or android app, you will probably need to get some help from someone else who is familiar with those apps. I am not.

I hope that helped, and good luck!

I will save this and try to figure it out. I noticed you need to complete 12 games in order to do this. I have only completed 6 so far...

Well, that's a new one on me. I wasn't aware of needing to complete 12 games in order to upload an avatar. But you're already half-way there. Maybe that was just recently started. I do know you have to complete 20 rated games in order to get rid of your provisional rating.

Anyway, you can still work on those images and get them ready to upload. Just follow the instructions and make a note of the file size and image dimension size information.

No hurry. I’m part of the furniture here and not going away. Miller’s part of the foundation under the building, he’s not going away either.

Lol, I've been trying to move my own loveseat out to the back porch, but limited success so far.
