Hi everyone. For those unsure about how to upload avatars, the instructions as follow:
As soon as you are logged in click on 'Profile' that appears on the bar just below the image of the purple wildebeest. Your personal profile will open.
Then click on the 'Modify Profile' link in bold letters at the top of your profile.
Scroll down until you reach the 'Personal Information' column. Next to 'Avatar' is a dropdown menu with standard avatar icons. If you'd like to use one of the standard icons, click on the prefered one and scroll down towards the button on the bottom left hand corner of the page and click on 'Modify Profile'. The avatar you chose will now be set on your profile.
If you are, however, not interested in the standard provided avatars and you want to upload one from the internet; go to:
Google, click on 'Images' and google your prefered icon. If you set your mind on one click on the picture and wait for the page to open. Above the page that opened, click on 'See full-size image'.
In your browser will be a code that ends with 'jpg, jpeg, gif or bmp' - copy and paste that code into the space on your profile that says 'Avatar URL'. Set the width and height of your avatar. Then scroll down to the 'Modify Profile' button and click on it. Your avatar should be uploaded.
Unfortunately, as far as i'm concerned, this website does not provide the option for you to Browse your avatar from your computer. In other words, it's not possible to upload pictures of yourself, unless you have an internet URL that leads to your personal picture.
