Did you check the "yes" radio button in the "Custom Avatars" section?

Yeah, I guess you're doing something wrong...

Here's what I did, at it worked OK:

Went to profile/Edit Options

Clicked "Change Avatar" button

Checked "yes" radio button

Clicked "Browse" button

Got the red dot from my PC (the path shows in the box near the button)

Clicked "Submit modifications"

BINGO!

You may want to post a question in the General Discussions forum about this; the Webmaster has been very helpful lately

Cheers!

Your using a bitmap file and you need to convert it to a gif, then it should work. Try it out!
