    Silly question time I'm afraid.

    Could anyone please tell me how I change my avatar picture. At the moment I have a ridiculous ginger kitten and I would really like something else.
    Thanks for your time.
    S.

    Oooh I found it, all by myself.

    What a noob. rofl

    I do think that the idea of automatically allocating one of the standard avatar pictures by default is rather odd.
    It seems to have no positive effects and could antagonise users who get something they don't like.

    Was there ever any rational explanation for why this was done?

    OK. You're going to have to humour the thicky, here.

    How do I find these famous avatars?

    I've seen people discussing/complimenting each others avatars, I've searched and can't find mine.

    Help a confused girl out here!
    :huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:
