How do I upload an avatar?
To change an avatar, make sure the new one is exactly 50x50 pixels, in GIF, JPEG or PNG format, and under 15kb. If it is, go to your Edit Profile page. Once there, on the left side is a place to upload your avatar. Click the browse button, select your avatar, and open it so that its location on your computer is in the text box. Once done click on "OK".
You may also submit your avatar through the normal submission process, using the Category Customization > Icons > Avatar.
