Mary, you don't have to have your pic in the gallery to upload it for your avatar. However, for your avatar, the picture has to be a bit smaller than it does for your gallery. So, start by re-sizing the picture that you want to use for your avatar.
- The picture for your avatar must be no larger than 151x201 pixels.
- On the left side of the forum screen, under Board Index, click on User Control Panel
- On the screen that appears, click on the tab called Profile
- When the Profile screen appears, click on Edit Avatar
- Next, click on Choose File
- A second screen will appear, showing the files on your personal computer.
-In this second screen, find the picture (previously reduced to 151x201 pixels or smaller) on your computer that you wish to upload to the forum.
- Highlight (select) your picture's name and click on Open.
- Your picture should now be displayed on the forum screen, ready for you to click on Submit.
- You should now see the message: "Your profile has been updated."
Hopefully, these instructions will give you success.
