The only problem is that it does not seem to be working. I have 515 points and am an L3, yey when I go to Your Stuff>Profile>Change picture AND avatar, there isn't an option for a custom avatar. Barry, is there another place where you can create custom avatars or is the above where it is supposed to be located?

Hi r:


I went to the location you indicated. I downloaded a "primary picture." Then I downloaded two more - one at a time. With #2 and #3 I was given the option to make them my avatar. The current one, FWIW, is a picture of Venice (St Mark's square) from a boat on a canal.


Perhaps if you download another picture, it will work for you.


Wait, I see you already have four pictures in your profile (including two of California's flag 🙂) Three of your pictures should be at the very bottom of that long list of Avatars. Click on the one you want - it should change.

Hi again:


I just uploaded the avatar you see in this post (#4 for me). I think you might have missed clicking on the box (after the picture is uploaded) that asks if you want to create a new avatar. If you do not select that, the picture is in your profile, but is not at the bottom of the avatar list.


You will need to delete one of your photos, redownload it, and then select it as an avatar.


You are apparently permitted to have three custom avatars. They can be changed at will.

There isn't a box like that on the pages I go through after uploading a photo (crop, & finish)
