To add a cool little picture by your name :smile:

These are called avatars and they're basically just graphics files (jpegs, or .jpg) to add one click on the Profile button at the top and then scroll down to the section that says Avatar Control Panel there you have the option of uploading an image from your PC, or somewhere on the internet, if you don't have an image of your own you can click on the Avatar Gallery to see if there's anything there that you fancy. The image should be less than 120x120 pixels in size. Make sure you press submit to save the changes to your profile.

Feel free to add tips to this thread.

If you have a cool pic you found on a search engine such as google, before you click unto the picture just save the pic there and then if should be small enough to fit as an avatar. Also avatars can also be called display pics.

Or, if that dosen't work, you could download a free avatar sizer, which will take any size pic on your machine and downsize it to whatever. One can be found here.
