It's a long while since I created my avatar but I think the process is as follows, Paul:

1. Upload your chosen picture to your computer, maximum size 100 x 100 pixels.

2. Click on User Control Panel (top left of screen).

3. Click on Profile.

4. Click on Edit Avatar.

5. Click on Choose File.

6. I'm not sure if there are any other steps, but once you've selected your picture I think you click on Submit.

Hope that works, but if not I'm sure someone else will be able to help. :)

There is one other parameter which is stated on the avatar editing page and that is the maximum file size of 40.00 KiB, although that shouldn't be a problem unless you are re-sizing a large-size Hi-res image file. You would then have to use a suitable program that will allow you to state a maximum file size when you save it. 'Irfanview' is the program I use for such purposes.

Good to see your avatar, Paul! Those Find-Outers books are the editions I have and they're nice and colourful.

Thanks for the kind comments.
Yes agree Anita think those covers on the FFO books are my favourites, think the drawings sum up in my mind the look and feel for each of the characters.
