Copied from the Forum FAQs:

How do I add an avatar/profile photo?

Your Profile photo will be displayed in your public profile, and your chosen avatar will be displayed beside your posts under your username.

Our avatar system allows forum members to select an avatar (a small image) from our avatar collection, or to upload their own images to use as their avatars.

To select an image from our avatar collection, please click on the “Click to choose avatars” link located in My Profile page. Once you click on the link, a window titled "Click on the avatar you like”, will pop up and will show you a list of all the avatars to choose from.

To set up your profile photo, you can either put in a link or upload your own image to our server. To upload a profile photo, you can click on the “Upload my picture” link. A pop-up window will appear for you to upload the image from your local hard disk drive.

Once you have made a change to either avatar or profile photo, remember to scroll down to the end of the page and click on "OK" or "Apply" button to save the changes. Please also note carefully as we have image dimension limits for both avatars and profile photos.
