    Two kinds:

    - profile pic is taken from your local files. Click "Appearance" on your profile page and follow the instructions.

    - other pics for blog and forum must be available online before use. Instructions are in "How to post a scorecard" in the Help Forum.

    In case of further problems, "Contact" WGT (below).

    Are you attempting to change your profile picture 
    or your in-game avatar

    Edit added after below post.

    Correct me if I am wrong, isn't the OP saying he used to have pictures and now he doesn't. The folder is gone.  I believe that WGT only stores the last picture you have uploaded.  All other pictures are stored either on you computer or on a upload site(tinypic,(my choice), among others).  If you delete the file from your computer or move it from the default search location, the browse button can't find them and will show no pictures available.  Same as if you are browsing directly to an upload site, if deleted, they will not show up.  Unsure if using upload site for storage and you have signed out what may happen.  We normally upload the pics then store local.  That way once uploaded, they are always uploaded for use on forums or elsewhere.

     

     

    That folder would have been on your computer.  If when trying to browse for the folder and you can't find it, it has been deleted from your computer.  Or moved from the default location.

     

    EDIT 11/4  If by chance you did not use a default location to save your photos, you need to remember where you saved them.  If you can remember a photo name, try the search function to see if you can get pointed in the right direction.  You are uploading a photo stored on your computer to WGT, they then store your picture for use on your profile.

    To upload a picture you need to click on 'Browse' , windows explorer will open and you will then be able to find and click on the picture you want to use. After you have selected your picture, click on 'Upload Photo'  and your picture should appear in the area below the upload photo button with some editing options , then click 'Save' to finish.

    @Gary, I just wanted to make certain that Vincent is using the correct procedure for changing his profile picture before we start any investigation into 'missing pictures'. A bit like making sure there's petrol in the car before dismantling the engine because it won't start.

    I know that I think about or interpret things in a different way to others, and to some people that makes them think I'm either stupid, or a genius, so you'll have to forgive me if what I do or say seems odd. But if Vincent comes back and says that he did things the same way as I have done in my video then we can forget about my cockeyed ideas and pursue your line of thought.  : )
