How do i put a pic in my signature or watever?

A pic cannot go in you signature but you can have a picture under your username which is referred to as an "Avatar". Post the picture here at Thedieselstop.com and then enter the link to that picture into the line "URL to your avatar" in your "My Home profile"

As far as posting a picture to use follow these instructions.
that were written up by Roland.

"Compliments of Roland. How do I get a Avatar"


These directions may not work if, you are using a Mac computer, using a different picture host other than TDS.

1. You need to have first uploaded a picture or pictures onto the diesel truck stop picture gallery or other gallery of your choice.

2. Select the picture you want to use as an Avatar

3. Leave the picture as a thumbnail, do not click on or open the picture.

4. Put cursor on the thumbnail.

5. Using the right button on the mouse and click on the picture.

6. Now, from the dialog box select “properties” left click on properties

7. Find the URL, Place the cursor at the beginning of the URL.

8. Press and hold the left mouse button down and swipe it across the URL to highlight it.

9. To copy the URL to the clipboard, press and hold first the CTRL key then the C key. Release both keys at the same time.

10. Now go to the chat forum. From the menu at the top, select “MY HOME”

Select edit from “Personal information, email, password, etc.”

11. From the edit page find, URL to your picture (65x75 max pixels, may be smaller) (.gif, .jpg, .png accepted)

12. Now paste the URL you copied by pressing the CTRL key and the V key

13. Select “submit”

14. If you did everything right your picture “Avatar” should now be seen in Main Configuration box.

Holler back if you have trouble.


Do not use the URL at the top of the page. It ain’t gonna work, don’t do it. You must use the URL inside the properties dialog box.

I have been a member for a while, but I just tried to login to the picture area for the first time and it wouldn't let me. I used my same name and password. What should I do?

[Dick Cutting]

There have been some problems when someone has a different login name from their registered name. The registered name seems to work in those cases. Also, your username and password are case sensitive. Try that and see what happens. If that doesn't work for you then I'll dig a bit deeper.
