A few days back, I was thinking that an Avatar was an essential to protect one's identity from being stolen by the so called Trolls in AB. However it has been proved to me that such is not the case.
Consequently, perhaps the ED or, a genuine member of AB, will tell me the reasons for establishing an Avatar.

itsnotme, I think it's just so people will know what you look like or (more often) what you'd like to look like. But as some people change their avatars more often than they change their underwear, that sort of defeats the object. On other forums I go on an avatar is for life, not just for Christmas.

Hi Itsnotme.
AB has recently updated things. The 'box' has now become a 'button'. Click 'My Profile' at the top left of this page. There should be 3 buttons there, with the top one being 'Activate Profile'. That's the one you want.
If your avatar still doesn't appear you'll need to check that you've used the SAME email address to register with BOTH AB and Gravatar. They MUST be the same, otherwise there's no way that your presence here can be linked to your picture on Gravatar.
