How do I install Downloaded Brushes?

[Yazu]

Okay, I've been trying to install a brush I just downloaded (splatter brush by wickedjess!!) and can't seem to find how to place them or where to place them.  Some things say I should place them in the .abr or a .gbr folder.  Which one do I put it in?

here is a few video tutorials...

or you may try putting your brushes in %D\programfiles\gimp\share\gimp\2.0\brushes folder
where %D is the drive of the GIMP

I am following the exact steps and nothing happens.

I have windows vista 32-bit, with 4 gb RAM.

Go to C: (If thats the hard drive it's on)/Program Files/GIMP 2.0/share/gimp/(I think it has a 2.0 folder here)/brushes, and paste your brushes there. Then, next time GIMP comes up it should work... If not then they're broken or something.

no no no no
in vista u go to
(opens nautilus in ubuntu and navigates ot other hard drive)
c:/users/(your username)/.gimp-2.4
make sure u can see hidden files

[Yazu]

Wait, are you saying i should go there or are you saying that for ubuntu users go there?
