I am trying to change my avatar but cannot seem to edit it? can you help please?

1. Starting with the little toolbar above any message, choose "Go" -> "Personal Zone" -> "Profile"

2. On the right-hand side of the Member Profile, you will see a link to "View/Edit Complete Profile". Click on that.

3. In the Public Profile Fields, there is the opportunity to Edit your Avatar. Click on "Edit"

4. From there, you can pick one of 42 stock avatars, or choose "Custom Avatar". The custom avatar option will allow you to upload a 55 pixel wide, 70 pixel high jpg file.

Does this answer your question?

I have done that several times to no effect

You forgot "save" at the end of the process..

It looks like it works now. What made the difference? Was it the "save" at the end of the process?

Yes. If you do not save your choice and close your page, it is not changed.

There is no save on that page,there is a submit,tried yet again with no success.

Bill,
Here's a short video that shows the last step for uploading a custom avatar:

I assume you already have a 55 pixel wide, 70 pixel high jpg file.

By the way, I did notice that your new avatar does not change in your posts instantly. But if it changes in your profile, it should be reflected in your posts once the server software has updated. (Maybe a few hours?)
