To change your avatar there is a way of doing it yourself, however this can be complicated and if not done correctly could mean your posts look rather odd.
The simplest way to get a fancy Avatar is to choose a picture you like, then PM myself or Samango with the URL of the picture. We will then set your avatar correctly so that it fits nicely into your profile.
Please be aware that pornographic images are not acceptable and your request will be declined.
Animated GIF images are acceptable however must not be more than 100x100 pixels in size.
