How To Change Your Avatar

Try selecting again, but remember it does take time to switch over to a new image sometimes.

Why doesn't my new avatar show up on posts I make?

Kyu the Dream Crusher™ here laying down some truthiness.

We don't allow users to upload anything to the forums due to security. We have purposefully offloaded everything possible to external sites to avoid security implications. While I know that it would be easier for you to upload your own avatars, we don't feel it is worth the risk. 

To give you an idea, check http://community.inv...nd-information/ and look for "Critical Security Update" topics. Those indicate remote code execution is possible and is usually a flaw with how IPB has set up its PHP interaction. Most of these issues were known months beforehand and could've caused security problems on our website, but were irrelevant since we do not allow users to upload files.
