How to add an Avatar

Hi everybody! Now that we’re spending more of our time interacting over the discussion board, I thought it might be nice to add photos next to our names (or other representative images) to remind everyone of who we are or at least liven up the somewhat colorless display of comments.

First, find or take a picture you’d like to use. This is NOT required. It can be a picture of you, or an image or icon you’d like to use to represent yourself.

To add it as an Avatar, click here to access your profile settings.

Scroll down to the Avatar section, and then the subsection “Select image.” Where is says “Choose an image from your computer,” click the “Choose file” button, select the image file, and then click “Upload.” Now click the “Update Profile” button at the bottom of the page.

This won’t retroactively change your image, but it should give you a new image going forward. Try commenting below to see if it worked!
