    That's a very stupid question.



    Just kidding.


    It's pretty self explanatory once you have enough posts to have one.

    I believe you need 10 posts. Once you have them the option will appear in your profile. Then just hit the edit avatar button.

    Ahhh… that’s the reason. Well, hopefully this post will putme at #11 and I will go check. A lot of stuff is tied into having at least 10posts! I can’t even add attachments or edit may post yet. We’ll see after thisone.

    You have 2 posts (including the one I am quoting)

    That should have been pretty easy to keep track of

    Exactly where is this setting? I have 11 posts. My "Edit Avatar" section says "Do not use an avatar" and I can't change this radio button because it's the only option available. This doesn't change whether I have Show Signatures, Avatars, Images checked or unchecked. Anyone?

    Not directly related to but, can someone plese walk me through how to properly post pictures? I've followed the instructions and have used flickr and photobucket. It seems that some people can see my posts and some cannot. Sorry in advance for bringing this up again!

    The last ones you posted from photobucket ended in jpg.html. They need to end in .jpg only, so the code you're copying is the wrong version.
