Here's a dumb question. How do you upload a picture for your avatar?  Embarrassed  I've tried going to my account and browsing to the picture I want to use and clicking Change Account.  It didn't work.  What am I doing wrong?  Huh?

OK, I got a picture by linking it to someone else's webpage.  I still don't know how to upload a picture.  Thanks for any help.

Make sure you click the radio button next to "I will upload my own picture" then browse to the file, then click Change Profile.

Are there specific file name extensions like .gif or .jpg required when uploading?  Uploading doesn't seem to work for me either, even with the correct radio button selected.  I have to link the pics from my web site.

Actually there is a limit on the dimensions of the image. It was set to 68x68, so I upped it 150x150. Just make sure your image is that small before uploading it.

So that's why my picture just got huge. Bleh. I liked it better smaller... I guess I'll go resize it.

Oh, wait, no, now it fixed itself.
