3. Also how can I post "graphics" to my profile???

Suppose you want (for reasons unknown) to have the green CBS logo from the CBS Marketwatch home page to appear in your profile. Here's how you do it(in the Classic site):

Go to the CBS Marketwatch home page: cbs.marketwatch.com

Right click on the "logo" to find its web address:

If you're using IE, choose properties to see its web address. If you're using Netscape Communicator, choose copy image location to put it into your clipboard and then paste the clipboard contents into wordpad or some other suitable program. Using either method, you should be able to determine that the web address of the eye graphic is cbs.marketwatch.com.

Now we will edit your profile to link it to the CBS Marketwatch logo. Click on your name in any message you're written or received and then click on the "edit your profile" button at the top of the page. Go to one of the boxes which allow the entry of text - say "Quote" and enter the following:

<img src= cbs.marketwatch.com;

Now click the "update profile" button at the bottom of the page. Naturally, you can replace the logo with any desired image on the web (subject to space constraints on your profile page and the constraints of good taste and the terms of use).

I've carried out these instructions on the classic site in my profile so you can see the finished product: Member 4193159

I'll probably drop the logo in an hour or so - it's there just to provide an example.
