Hey i know this is gonna sound pretty stupid, but i never understood how to post a picture on a profile. Not the link, but the actual picture.

It's the same code you'll use anywhere else on RPR:
Code:
[img]http://www.example.com/image.jpg[/img]

You just have to host the image on another site, like www.imgur.com, www.photobucket.com etc.

Any site that will let you upload I,ages, i.e. "host" them as if they were a guest.

Click on "Upload Images" at the very top of the Imgur site:

Browse your computer for the image you want to upload, then click on 'Open', then click on 'Start Upload'.

The image will start to upload.

When it's done uploading, it will take you to the page showing you the image. On the right side you will see a bunch of codes to use. Look for the one that says BBCode and click the little icon to the left of it to automatically copy the code (or select it and Right-Click, Copy). You can also use the 'Direct Link' to directly link to the image.
