@ Ben:

That's great, thanks.

@ Fergus:

Sorry if I ticked you off. We're dealing with some tiring issues such as with our phone+internet provider and I should have been more patient.

@Kevin, You had the website field populated instead of the image field, and the link you provided had our server's folder structure (starting /home/public_html I think) rather than the URL. I've fixed both.

@all, We should perhaps have a select-upload-and-use button on the Edit Person form, rather than the separate Upload for files in the membergraphics/@personid folder then specifying that URL in the Edit Person form. The latter does provide some more flexibility, but we can have both, I'd imagine.

Well, I was finally able to upload my picture to CVP (I had to use 'Choose Files', etc. from EDIT [within the overhead menu]). However, I don't know how to use the URL (if I'm seeing it there in EDIT [within the overhead menu], at all) to put my picture into my Personal info page. I know next to nothing about how URLs work, or how to manage them.

If you ask me, technology may be going backwards. About ten years ago I could upload and display the same picture on two Canadian chess discussion boards, no sweat, and I knew little about modern computers back then, too. I see some other CVP members already have pictures of themselves on their Personal info page, somehow, years back (e.g. H.G., Carlos).

The Browse button has different names depending on the browser, because its name is not fixed in the HTML. It says "Browse ..." on Firefox, but it says "Choose Files" on Edge or Chrome and presumably other Chromium-based browsers.

I assume the browser button is located in the extreme lower left of my screen (shows how little I know about modern computers).

I never directed you to use a Browser button. The Browse button, which has a verb name, not a noun name, is in a form on the script for uploading files. The button on the extreme lower left of your screen is your Start menu, which is part of Windows and has nothing to do with uploading files here.
