Hi Hows it going?
once you have logged in,you will see "My Account" at top right of screen.click on this and it will take you to your account page,here you will see a tab for "settings" click on that.
At the top of the settings is the avatar settings,with instructions how to add them and size allowed (not more than 100x100 pixels, must be .gif, .jpg, .jpeg or .png image) for your owm avatar which you can take from either your own PC, from the internet(save pic to computer firts) or the ET gallery on the avatar settings.
Once you have picked the avatar go to bottom of page and click on save changes and that should be you ready to go.
Alot of the really cool avatars on the site have been made by members that are good with creating graphics,so hopefully they can help more.
any problems please feel free to ask.
