I have gone through all the past questions on how to load an avatar and still no luck. I dont understand if I can load a picture on the site why wont my avatar work when i try to load the same picture?

After you selected a picture, did you click "Update Avatar"?

It is showing up now :D:D:D
Sometimes it won't show for you until you leave the board and come back :wink:

Now that you have your avatar, how about a close-up pic of it? The quilt looks beautiful, but I would love to see it in a larger pic. :lol: :wink: 8-)
