Can I use a photo when I edit my profile or do I have to use emoji avatars? I’m not crazy about the shadowy silhouette and like the avatars even less.

You can use an image. You must be level 3 to customize the avatar.

Thanks, BobTheFisherman. I knew there must be a way because I’ve seen a couple of cats and a human eye used as avatars on other peoples comments. I haven’t posted or answered anything before but I’ll work on it to get to level three.


Here’s a little add-on — Your answer is really the best, but I inadvertently marked babowa’s answer as Best and Most Helpful (Sorry, Babowa)

Is there a way to take it back

i.e., delete “best answer” and “helpful” on babowa’s answer?
