Does anyone know how users could upload a picture when creating their account, which would be loaded to their profile. thank you

In the UserProfile control, add the following code somehwere:

And this is my full C# code:

[code]
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using EO.EntropiaOnline.BLL.Newsletters;

namespace EO.EntropiaOnline.UI.Controls
{
    public partial class UserProfile : System.Web.UI.UserControl
    {
        private string _username = "";
        public string UserName
        {
            get
            {
                return _username;
            }

            set
            {
                _username = value;
            }
        }

        protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Page.RegisterRequiresControlState(this);
        }

        protected override void LoadControlState(object savedState)
        {
            object[] ctlState = (object[])savedState;
            base.LoadControlState(ctlState[0]);
            _username = (string)ctlState[1];
        }

        protected override object SaveControlState()
        {
            // If the Uploader contains a fileUrl, a new upload happened.
            // This is the only place I can quickly add it, so this will
            // suffice for me for now.
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(FileUploader1.FileUrl))
            {
                txtAvatarUrl.Text = FileUploader1.FileUrl;
                panFileUpload.Visible = false;
            }

            object[] ctlState = new object[2];
            ctlState[0] = base.SaveControlState();
            ctlState[1] = _username;
            return ctlState;
        }

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Set the text for the FileUploader to nothing, and the maxsize to 64k
            FileUploader1.LabelText = "";
            FileUploader1.MaxFileLength = 65536;

            if (!this.IsPostBack)
            {
                //ddlCountries.DataSource = Helpers.GetCountries();
                //ddlCountries.DataBind();

                // if the UserName property contains an empty string, retrieve the profile
                // for the current user, otherwise for the specified user
                ProfileCommon profile = this.Profile;
                if (this.UserName.Length > 0)
                    profile = this.Profile.GetProfile(this.UserName);

                ddlSubscriptions.SelectedValue = profile.Preferences.Newsletter.ToString();
                //ddlLanguages.SelectedValue = profile.Preferences.Culture;
                //txtFirstName.Text = profile.FirstName;
                //txtLastName.Text = profile.LastName;

                if (profile.BirthDate != DateTime.MinValue)
                    txtBirthDate.Text = profile.BirthDate.ToShortDateString();
                ddlGenderIRL.SelectedValue = profile.GenderIRL;
                txtOccupation.Text = profile.Occupation;
                txtLocation.Text = profile.Location;
                txtWebsite.Text = profile.Website;

                //txtStreet.Text = profile.Address.Street;
                //txtCity.Text = profile.Address.City;
                //txtPostalCode.Text = profile.Address.PostalCode;
                //txtState.Text = profile.Address.State;
                //ddlCountries.SelectedValue = profile.Address.Country;
                //txtPhone.Text = profile.Contacts.Phone;
                //txtFax.Text = profile.Contacts.Fax;

                txtSociety.Text = profile.InGame.Society;
                txtNameIngame.Text = profile.InGame.NameIngame;
                ddlGenderIngame.SelectedValue = profile.InGame.GenderIngame;

                txtTitle.Text = profile.Forum.UserTitle;
                txtAvatarUrl.Text = profile.Forum.AvatarUrl;
                txtSignature.Text = profile.Forum.Signature;
            }
        }

        public void SaveProfile()
        {
            // if the UserName property contains an empty string, save the current user's
            // profile, otherwise save the profile for the specified user.
            ProfileCommon profile = this.Profile;
            if (this.UserName.Length > 0)
                profile = this.Profile.GetProfile(this.UserName);

            profile.Preferences.Newsletter = (SubscriptionType)Enum.Parse(
                   typeof(SubscriptionType), ddlSubscriptions.SelectedValue);
            //profile.Preferences.Culture = ddlLanguages.SelectedValue;
            //profile.FirstName = txtFirstName.Text;
            //profile.LastName = txtLastName.Text;
            profile.GenderIRL = ddlGenderIRL.SelectedValue;
            if (txtBirthDate.Text.Trim().Length > 0)
                profile.BirthDate = DateTime.Parse(txtBirthDate.Text);
            profile.Occupation = txtOccupation.Text;
                //ddlOccupations.SelectedValue;
            profile.Website = txtWebsite.Text;

            //profile.Address.Street = txtStreet.Text;
            //profile.Address.City = txtCity.Text;
            //profile.Address.PostalCode = txtPostalCode.Text;
            //profile.Address.State = txtState.Text;
            //profile.Address.Country = ddlCountries.SelectedValue;
            //profile.Contacts.Phone = txtPhone.Text;
            //profile.Contacts.Fax = txtFax.Text;

            profile.InGame.Society = txtSociety.Text;
            profile.InGame.NameIngame = txtNameIngame.Text;
            profile.InGame.GenderIngame = ddlGenderIngame.SelectedValue;

            profile.Forum.UserTitle = txtTitle.Text;
            profile.Forum.AvatarUrl = txtAvatarUrl.Text;
            profile.Forum.Signature = txtSignature.Text;
            profile.Save();
        }
    }
}

Lastly, you will need to add the picture in the forum software. I did this in the ShowThread page, by inserting the following line(s):
