GAIA is not like MySpace; you don't have a place to upload photos. You will have to upload them to a separate online host, then hit "add image" on your profile editor; paste the URL of the picture in. You can then move it as you wish.

this answer doesnt work either..we need a answer UP TO DATE as in 2009

Improved Answer:

What you need to do is log into your Photobucket account (or create one if you don't have one already) and upload the image that you want to use for your gaia profile. Then, edit it (if you wish) or just save it as is. Once you have saved it, open that picture up in your photobucket album. To the right of the picture there should be a few different codes used for different websites and formats. Copy the one that looks somewhat like this in this format below (the only format the gaia profiles will accept)

this is the URL for my gaia picture on my profile, yours should look somewhat like this...

[IMG]http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii92/DKMG13meh1-1.jpg[/IMG]

Once you have done this, log into your gaia account and go to My Gaia and go to About Me. In the About Me section, paste the copied URL anywhere you would like (whether it is above or below the text that you have written (or havent written) about yourself)

Then below the About Me box, there should me a blue/purple text saying Click Here to See the Text As It Would Appear in Your Profile. Click that to preview your About Me section.

You should have a picture of yourself on your profile. Hope this helps.

Even more improved answer

If you want to put a picture in your "About Me" section, use the previous answer. If, however, you want to put it on your profile and move it to a specific spot, then read further on how to do it.

As mentioned before, you will need to upload your picture to a separate picture site.

Go to your profile. At the top right, it should say "Edit My Profile Layout" so click that.

A bubble should appear on the right with some options. Click "Picture".

If you wish to upload a picture from Photobucket, click "Photobucket", or if you want to upload one from a different picture site, click "URL".

Photobucket Option

If it's from Photobucket, Log in to your account in the box and select the picture.

-OR-

You can upload the picture to your Photobucket account from that box. Click Browse, pick the picture on your computer, and Upload it to Photobucket.

Then, select the picture you want to put on Gaia and click "Paste Media".

Finally, in the bottom left corner of the box, there should be a button with "+Add" on it. Click it and the picture will be on your profile.

Now just move it to where you want it, resize it if you desire, and that should be it.

URL Option

If it's from a different site, go to the site (probably in another window) and Log in.

Open the Sharing options for the picture and there should be one labeled something like "Forums and Message Boards".

Alternatively, you can look for the one with "[IMG]" and "[/IMG]" at the beginning and end of the link, respectively.

Copy the link and paste it into the URL space for your Profile on Gaia.

Now just click "+Add" in the bottom left of the box and your picture is now on your profile.

Move it where you want it, resize it if you wish, and it should be uploaded.

Both of the previous answers were correct. I just wanted to explain them a little more in depth.
