How?

I notice on other Journals that people's icons/user pics show up on their individual posts. Is that something that only happens in paid mode? When I make an entry, I see the userpic menu under screen comments, and it lists my pics, so I'm slightly baffled. Thanks for the newbie help!

That drop down userpic menu lets you choose your user pic every time you post, or comment in other journals. If you don't choose one, lj chooses the pic you have assigned as default - if you haven't chosen a default, lj chooses a default randomly for you.

You should probably study the lj faq a bit - it helped me tremendously in the beginning, and I am still learning too...

See, that's what I thought from reading the FAQ, and as far as I know, I've done all the required things. Somewhere I must have missed a box to click or something. Just after going through everything I could think of for the umpteenth time, I figured I should try asking :) It'll probably be something that will make me go DUH when I figure it out.

Ok,

Are you saying that you do not have the option to decide your userpics when posting replies? There should be a drop down menu you can click on. Then you just guide your mouse to the pic you want.

Or are you saying that you cannot see userpics on your LJ site?

Errr...I think :) I'm saying that when I go to someone's journal, I see along with their posts, their userpic. Mine only show up with comments, or on the individual entry page, not on the 'main page'. The only place my userpic is on the main page, is over on the left hand sidebar under the links.

Does that make sense?
