An avatar is an image which represents you and will be shown to other community members. To upload an avatar image, use the dropdown menu on the top right of the page and click on “My Profile”. Click on “Edit Profile” under your cover photo on the right. In the first section named Profile picture, click on Upload image. Find the image you wish to upload (minimum size of 200 x 200 pixels), then click on Submit Avatar. Your image will show with a dotted lined box in the corner. Expand or shrink the box over the section of the image you would like to use as your avatar (area outside of the box will be cropped out). Click on Save and Finish Editing at the bottom of the page. Congratulations, you now have an avatar image.
