Adding your own "avatar"
You have to size your proposed avatar to 150 x 150 pixels and convert it to "jpg" format. You do this on your machine. I did it with "paint." Save the avatar in a file on your hard drive. Then, on the board, go to "user cp," "edit options," "edit avatar," "use custom avatar" and click "browse," find your avatar on your machine and upload it. Something like using e-mail to send a file.
