It won't show up on any other web page except the main messageboard right now.
If you go to the main message board, there should be instructions on how to do it, posted by Amy.
You go into your "user settings" and then copy and paste in a url where you have your picture uploaded (photobucket, etc)
they said it won't be able to be viewable on the other message boards for another few weeks.

from Amy:
I just wanted to let everyone know that the ability to change message board photos is now live. Please note you can ONLY change your photo through the main message board right now go here: http://obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/ , HOWEVER the photo WILL change on any of the other boards on the site!
To access this feature on the main message board go to "user settings" on the top blue box. You can upload the photo from your computer by clicking on browse or add the photo by placing a URL link. And then click on "process".
Keep in mind that photos that are too large are going to crunch down to 100 by 100 and cannot exceed 20k in size. We don't currently have a resizing tool, but we hope to add that in the future. You would need to size your photo down if it shows up distorted.
We have plans later on down the road to add photo uploading from your profile page or an album feature. Also the updated blog system, which is not set to come out still until sometime this summer. Those wanting photos on the before and after section will still have to email those into [email protected] and the same for now if you want to add them to your profile page in the bottom 2 areas provided. You can host the photos on your profile by using a service like www.photobucket.com
As a side note, while on the main message board if you haven't please get familar with its lay out eventually (very soon) ALL boards will be changed over to this design. Please note the signature feature only will work on boards with the new design. We plan on moving over the other boards within the upcoming few weeks.
We have many more exciting things coming up.
Thanks,
Amy Williams
