i have some photos but where can i go to put mine next to my name in the forums

That is called an avatar. You need an image that is 80 X 80 pixels or smaller and you'll have to upload it to an image site like www.photobucket.com

Here is a topic that shows you how to do that: http://indianringneck.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=2773

Then, just paste the URL of your image into your profile in the "Link to off-site Avatar" area and you're set.
