This might be a stupid question but how do I get an avatar?
I can't figure it out in my profile.

do a search for avatar and you should come up with a list of previous posts that may help out.

There was a topic within the last couple of weeks you may be able to find... Let me know if you cant come up with anything and I'll help you out...

I tried exactly what you said in your Dec. 3 instructions. When I get to the select this avatar page and I put in the url it comes up with a blank box at the top of the page. I tried making the picture smaller and even tried jpg and gif formats. Let me know what I need to do.
Thanks

when you entered the Url in the box did you make sure the correct extension (.jpg) was on it?

for example here is what the url looked like for mine:

Thanks a ton!

If you pick above you will can cut the url from your address bar at the top of your browser and then paste it in the box for your avatar...
