Click on the My Controls.
At leftside, under Personal Profile, click Edit Avatar Settings.
You can choose one of the preset ones available
OR
Scroll down the page - You will see "Your image avatars". Click on the little circle.
If the image you want to use is on an internet website, type in the website address of the pic (or use copy/paste)
If the picture you wish to use is saved on your hard drive, click on the Browse button, locate the picture on your hard drive. Select the pic and press the open button.
There are some things regarding the picture you wish to use: make sure that the picture is saved as one of the listed (i.e. .jpg, .jpeg ....) Also please note that the maximum avatar dimensions are 150 x 150 pixels. If your picture is larger than 150 x 150 pixels, you can use Microsoft Paint to resize it. (Smack posted a couple of websites that you can resize pics with, I will search that post out and post here later.)
When finished selecting your pic to post, click the button "Add this avatar to my profile"
Just FYI!!! You may not immediately see your avatar. Give it a little time for the server to add it.
Hope this information is helpful, and not too complicated.
