Hi WK,

go to the 'User CP' link at the top of the page, then 'edit avatar' is a link on the left about 1/2 way up. The image has to be small, (19.5kb) so you might have to faff about with some imagey software to make it behave.

Don't quit your day job Rumil. :p

Well, OK Eomer,

what I really meant was try it out, find it doesn't work, then read the instructions, swear sulphurously for half an hour solid while trying various unlikely unsuccessful means to shrink a picture then Google it and find that in Paint 'Image/ Stretch-Skew' means- make pictures smaller or bigger. :rolleyes:

Let me know by PM if you need any help. May I suggest the following freeware photo-editing software, GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/)?
