How do I select or upload an avatar?

To select one of our site avatars or to upload your own, go to the navbar below the site logo. Find the "Profile" tab, and click it; this will take you to your profile modification page. In the row of tabs below the navbar, find the tab "Avatar." You will be presented with 3 options for uploading your own avatar. You can upload an avatar directly from your hard drive ("Upload an Avatar from your computer"), or you can insert a link to your avatar on a photohost such as Tinypic or Photobucket. You can either chose to have the site save this image to the internal database ("Upload an Avatar from an URL") or simply have the site reference the link without saving the image to the internal database ("Link to an off-site Avatar").

The fourth option allows you to chose from one of our pre-made avatars ("Select your Avatar from our Gallery"). Click the "Show Gallery" button to display the gallery; from here you can select an avatar.
