I encourage people to add an avatar. You can do so by going to Profile → Edit Profile → Avatar. Then then click on Upload/Link and simply upload any picture from your computer. The default avatar is a little creepy looking.

I attempted to upload a few pictures, but each time it said the file was to large.

I looked in the Help files and found this: www.proboards.com/user-guide/avatars/linking-uploading"Avatars can be up to 150x150 pixels in size, and can either be uploaded directly to the forum or you can link to a file you have hosted elsewhere if you choose to do so."

I just tried to upload mine let's see if it worked! Fishingrod
That is a 10 1/2 pounder by the way. Caught, weighed and released! Not the largest bass I have caught only the largest I have a picture of. When he got hooked I thought it was an old fence post I snagged. Caught him again later that year!

I've uploaded some fairly boring avatars that you can pick from, if you don't want to upload your own but you also don't want to look like one of the Five Chinese Brothers.

I don't need an avatar but I was curious to look at those you loaded. But nothing is visible yet in Profile/Edit Profile/Avatar.

I don't need an avatar but I was curious to look at those you loaded. But nothing is visible yet in Profile/Edit Profile/Avatar. They are there, look for "Use a Forum Avatar - Pick One". Click "Pick One" and you'll see a pop-up window.

OK, didn't see that Pick One was clickable. Hyperlinks in ProBoards are not underlined, which is an odd departure from standard internet convention. It gives a clean look but can make links harder to identify, especially when an author mixer font colors.

Chang...as administrator, can you change my avatar to be similar to yogibearbull's, with an R48 in a circle?

Chang...as administrator, can you change my avatar to be similar to yogibearbull's, with an R48 in a circle? yogibearbull 's avatar looks like it was custom made. I am not much of a graphic designer (though I have dabbled). I will take a shot at it, and you can let me know what you think. Glad to see you here!! There is already quite a lot of content in case you want to catch up. Edit: I made a fairly simple one, how is it? I can change the background color if you have a preference.

FYI, round avatars seem to use the assigned space most effectively, and they also seem to look best. I found a nifty avatar "cropper" that will crop a round image from any picture: avatarcropper.com/
