    Avatars:

    It is currently not possible for members to upload images from Photobucket etc into their avatar space. This means that only still images can be used.  When you see a member (eg me!) with a moving avatar, these were uploaded before changes were made.

    However, don't despair, you can still have a picture there. 

    1. Choose a suitable picture and save it to your PC

    2. Click on your username at either the top right of the screen or above your avatar.

     

    3. From the blue Options menu on the left of the screen select Edit My Profile

     

    4.  Follow the steps in this diagram:
