How did you get one to begin with? What you need to do is post the image you want on a webhost. There are many free web hosting sites available. I use yahoo geocities; imageshack is also popular. These are pretty user friendly. They accept images in either .jpg or .gif format. You can google "avatar" to find many sites where avatars can be downloaded. When you find one you want to use upload it to your web host. Your webhost will have instructions on how to do this. Next modify your profile in this forum and enter the url for the image ie: www.geocities.com/whiplash532/skel.gifThe above is the url for my ava. It is the address in cyberspace where it is located. http://www is the common header for all url's geocities.com is the main domain site whiplash532 is the segment of the domain reserved for me skel.gif is the file name of the image hosted there The modify profile page has a box for the url labeled "Avatar URL:". Put the url in there. One last thing, you may have to resize the image to make it fit. You can do this using Paint. I've tried to keep this as non-techy as possible. If you still think this is too daunting for you just tell me what you want and I'll set it up for you.
