OK, it might not seem much, but I've finally managed to get myself an avatar. At least I can say I've achieved something this year! Belated Happy New Year to all ABers.
Wow! a reply from the Ed - I consider myself highly honoured!
How are you getting on with yours, Giveup? You can just choose a picture from your computer's photo gallery if you haven't got another to use.

However, I'd suggest you first google for an image that you would like to use as an av, and save it to your computer.
