How to add an avatar (the little picture appears beside your posts)

[Tank]

Every mow and again we have a themed avatar day/period. These instructions were produced while we had a Mr Men costume party!

I'd like The One That's Always Hungry, but I don't know how to make it my avatar.  I request assistance. Muchas gracias!

Find the url for the image you want - google image search Mr Greedy.
Go into your profile, select Forum Profile Information.
Select I have my own pic: and paste in your image's URL.
Click the change profile button at bottom of page.
There is the option to upload if you have the file locally.
The max size displayed is 130x130 but it does scale down larger images.

These excellent visual instructions were produced by Amicale.

Excellent instructions. Or the same thing, for us visual people:
