honu -

In "My Controls" (in the upper right section of the page)

if you look along the left hand column under "Personal Profile" you'll see the "Edit Avatar Settings" section.

There, you can select one of the board avatars or upload one from your PC.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hello There honu, so glad you decided to come to TV. There's plenty of forums to choose from so you're bound to find something to interest you.

Don't worry too much about the avatar, JohnWho gave you good directions and if I can get it done anyone can!! lmfao.gif I even managed to add a pic of my own, I couldn't believe it!! lol
Have fun and welcome aboard. grinner.gif

Thanks everyone for the really warm welcome! thumbup.gif
I'll try one more time with the avatar+see what happens. I want to load one from my computer+the "instructions" specifically state the the "re sizer" thingy is "on" ,But no matter what size I choose, I still get the error message to contact amember of the "staff".
I'll let you know what happens.Hold your collective breaths+wish me luck!

There appears to be a problem with the board, honu. It is not something you are doing.

One of us will let you know when it is resolved.

Meanwhile, thanks for bringing it to our attention.
