you won't lose alfie. he'll be on standby, you'll see.
1. go to WWW and find picture of halle - click on it so it is the only thing on screen and then right-click and 'copy'
2. go to http//en.gravatar.com/email and log in
select the add avatar option. select 'image from web'.
click in url box and then right-click and 'paste'
use cropper to size image and commit. then you
MUST select 'G' rating.
when done, it will set for you.
you will see on your profile that alfie has been moved aside - but not lost .. you can re-select him at a future date.
good luck
