How do I put my own pic on here??

Hey,
I can not work out how to put my own pic on here instead of the standard one... Any helpers??
Thanks,

It's called an avatar and is explained here: http://www.theanswerb...le/what-is-an-avatar/

Basically you have to register at http://en.gravatar.com/site/signup/ and make sure that you use exactly the same email address there as you use here on AB - that is what connects the two sites so make sure that it is the same in both places. Once you have loaded a picture at gravatar.com it should take just a few minutes for it be available for display here, and make sure that it is activated on your AB profile.

Yay it worked!!!
Thanks :)

excellent, and it was well worth waiting for

p.s. if you want to change it in future, you just change the pic in gravatar and the new image will eventually be picked up by AB without you needing to do anything else.

I've just upgraded mine to display my poppy with pride.

before I attempt to do it myself --where do the avators come from?
Do you select the avatar from a list of pictures?

[paddywak]

pusskin, just google avatars and loads of sites come up search through till you find one you like and away you go

you don't have to google avatars even, just any picture you like
