Thought I would post it here as well
Select Forum Actions (see new posts then move across to Forum Actions)
Click on Forum Actions and on the drop down menu click on General Settings
Now on the list of options look down and under My Profile is Edit Avatar
Click on Edit Avatar and click on the option to Use Custom Avatar on the right of the screen
Now you can use a picture from your computer files or one from the internet. For a picture from your computer, click on Choose File (in the box) and then browse the ones you have and click on the one you want to use. It should be added to the bar with the name of your picture. Hey presto a nice new avatar
If you find one on the internet copy its URL (web address) into the box with the www. in it
For a photo in your profile do the same but under the heading Edit Profile Picture
You may need to crop or reduce a photo so that it fits into the space available.
Hope this helps.
