There has been some interest recently in using the avatar facility on the board. As you will see, some of us have already successfully added our own. These are simply small images that represent the user. They can be just about anything as long as they are not offensive.
The facility to upload avatars does not seem to be working properly and this is something we need to investigate. We will also make available a gallery of avatars to choose from. In the meantime, if you have an image you would like to use, please email it to me and I will take care of the rest. We have set the maximum size at 120x120 pixels, 72 dpi but don't worry if this means nothing to you as I can adust your image accordingly.
