If you click on the top left "User CP", then on the left pane there's a "Edit Profile Picture". Click on the "Choose File" button and select a picture. Note the limitations:

The maximum size of your custom image is 100 by 100 pixels or 552.3 KB (whichever is smaller)

Obviously I haven't done it yet but I think this is how you do it.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot and there's another section "Edit Avatar", and in the "Custom Avatar" section there's a choose file button.

Next time I should try these things out myself first before responding so I can stop looking like an idiot....... now I have to go find a nice picture to put there

Every time I tr to put my pic in, the snow flake shows in the avatar box. I have resized m pic several times(even way below the specs) but it wont accept it. I was thinking you had to give a donation or something. Not that big of a deal I guess.I have all the boxes correct in my edit options as well.

I'm not a member sponsor or anything and have my own pic. Changed it not too long ago too.
