How do I set a custom avatar and change my default Email address in Apple Support Communities? Please help, thank you!
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
Custom Avatars can be set once you have reached the 500 point level. Your default email address is your Apple ID email address, and cannot be edited.

No, I want to change it for my Apple Support Community profile.
That's to bad! I've been very active on Apple Support Communities and I'm only at 1.5 point level. Are you sure there isn't another way? Thank you!
Also, is there a way to change my Email address in Apple Support Communities?
The email is the one associated with the Apple ID that was used to set up your Community profile. To change it, do as Eric indicated.
And sorry, but you cannot customize your Avatar until you have reached the 500 point level.

No, I didn't mean the Apple ID Email address. I mean't the Email address Apple Support communities sends a reply to when someone replies to my question in Apple Support Communities. Get it?
I get it. It is the email address on the Apple ID you used to sign up to the Community with.

Yes, it is.
So, if you want it changed, you have to change it on your Apple ID.

That wouldn't be really convenient.
Okay, the Apple ID I have uses my Google account Email address, but I'm not opening these Emails notifications in iCloud Mail. I'm receiving these Emails in Gmail. The thing I really want is for the Emails to arrive in iCloud Mail, which means, I need to change the Apple Support Communities Email address that the Email notifications are sending too. Please help, thank you!
See if you can set up your iCloud.com email address as an Alias in the Account information portion of your Preferences in Mail:
iCloud: Create or change email aliases

Okay, end topic. All I need is to know is: how change the email address for when someone replies to my question in Apple Support Communities. Do you know how to do that? Thank you!
As you have been told multiple times. The email address that you get notified about replies to your question is the email address that is tied to your Apple ID used to log into this forum. The only way to change the email address that you are receiving the notifications from is to change the email address for your Apple ID. Very simple. If you do not want to change that for your Apple ID, then you need to understand that you cannot change the email address.
Or, conversely, set up a new Apple ID with the email address you want, and create a new Apple Support Community User ID to go with that Apple ID. This is not rocket science. And, as Chris said, you have been given the answer several times. Asking the question over and over is not going to change the answer.
