Quick question. I uploaded a profile picture which shows just fine on my profile. However, when I post on boards and people's profiles, my "avatar" square is blank. Why is this? Am I missing something?

Thanks

They're two different things: the avatar is a tinier picture that is visible both in your posts and on your profile page, while a bigger picture can be used as a profile picture but is visible only on your profile page.

You'll find "Edit Avatar" listed a couple of items below "Edit Profile Picture" on the user control panel.

There's a thread here that includes animated screen shots showing how to get to it. Good luck!

Thanks for this!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
