How Do I Change My Avatar To One Of My Personal Pix?

[chelsea_girl]

I want to change my avatar on here, but cannot see how to do it? I'm not usually this technophobic or dumb, but it's not showing me where to upload my own photos

[murraymints]

go to gravatar.com and follow instructions to upload pic

Your question has largely been answered but I'll just point out two areas where people go wrong:

1. If you're asked to assign a 'certificate' to your avatar, ensure that you select 'G'. (The certificates are based upon US film ratings. Their 'G' is equivalent to our 'U') ;

2. You MUST use the same email address when you sign up with Gravatar/WordPress that you've got registered with The Answerbank. (If you've forgotten which address you used to register here, go to 'My Profile', and then to 'Edit My Profile', to view it). Your email address is the only way that your Gravatar and AB accounts are linked together, enabling your avatar to be displayed here.

Remember as well that if you're a member of other sites which also use Gravatar, then (if you used the same email address to register with those other sites) your new avatar will also appear on those sites as well as on AB.

Only the Ed or moderators can remove questions or answers. If you're worried that you've posted something which might, for example, give away some personal information, email the Ed with a request that it be removed:
[email protected]

(You could also post a request here, so a moderator could consider removing it for you, but that would mean that you'd be drawing attention to the post which you'd rather people didn't see, so you might not want to do that).

As for removing past questions you can report them and/or ask Ed if he would remove them but unless there are exceptional circumstances he may not agree i think as the answers may be valuable and should stay on the Answer Bank
