I'm probably missing something really obvious here, but how do I use my own avatar? I've tried adding the URL link and nothing happens, sometimes I get a red 'x' and sometimes nothing at all. Wouldn't having the option of uploading an avatar be a lot easier? Hope someone can help Thanks

Mines linked in - you have to be careful to follow the instructions pedantically.
It's a bit tougher to get right than in most places.

Being a total no-hoper with the puter stuff, do I need to have my pic on a website to have it as an avatar? Can I link to one of my flickr pix (how)? Or can I upload straight from eg phone or laptop files? No techie-speak please, I am really v pathetic w this stuff

The picture needs to be 100*100 and stored online. You need to 'modify profile', put the address of the avatar in and then click 'modify profile' at the bottom of the page. The address should look like this i29.tinypic.com/2abcdef.jpg

Haaa ha ha ha ha!! Well done, breezibee. I had a go after reading pd's tips (at the margins of being over-technical, I have to say!! ) and after fannying about trying to choose a picture that captured my unique wit, charm and quirkiness for half an hour, gave up. I remain a cypher. Don't really like my username either but can't think of a better one (except Random, which has already been bagged and probably contemplated by every user that followed!)
