1 click on profile

2 scroll to bottom of page to avatar control panel

3 click SHOW GALLERY

4 scroll through to find one you like and click on the DOT below then scroll to bottom of page and click select avatar. this will take you back to your profile , the avatar will show.

5 Finally click submit to save your changes, forgetting this step may mean doing it all again.

Now to do one with a pic from your PC

1 open a free account at photo bucket then click browse (hopefully this will open the my pictures folder) find your picture and download it, in jpeg format

2 when downloaded click edit then choose resize and the avatar option (100x 75) if asked if you want to resize click ok

3 From the options below your picture (avatar) click direct link and right click and click select all then right click again and click copy.

4 On your profile scroll to the avatar control panel and right click in the box marked link to off-site avatar and click paste.
