For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You need to sign up to a site called Gravatar (using the SAME email address that you used to register on AB - that's IMPORTANT!) and then upload your chosen image to that site.
Once you've activated your avatar in the profile section on AB, your picture will then be 'pulled' from Gravatar whenever you post here.

Hi Gordon.
Oddly, your avatar is showing on your profile page for me but not alongside your post here. You're certainly not the first that's happened to though!
Check that your avatar is actually activated. (Click on 'view your profile' at the top right. If 'Activate avatar' is showing, click on it). If it still doesn't show up on posts, email the Editor to see if the problem can be fixed at their end: [email protected]
What you should see, in your profile, is 'Deactivate avatar', as here:

(DON'T click on it!)
However, if it says 'Activate avatar', then you need to click on it.
^^^ Crossed posts!
>>> "Whatever that means?"
It means that AB's server has thrown a wobbly and still thinks that you're a new member who can't have an active avatar.
Email the Ed, as above, to ask for things to be put right. (As I said above, you're not the first to experence such a problem. It's definitely nothing personal!)
