I feel so stupid asking but where is everyone getting their cute avatars, gif's, images, graphics that are posted with their names?

carol, if you go into your Personal Zone and then into your Profile, you will see the link to View/Edit your profile. when you get to that screen, you can select an avatar from the BC site or download your own. i forget how small the pic has to be for your own avatar, but there will be prompts if you try to download a file that is too large!
send me a PM if you still need assistance and i will try to help "walk you thru"! best wishes!

I changed my avi and the forum says it was accepted...but even after tossing my cookies and clearing y cache I still see the cute little heart any ideas...

oops cancel that I now see my scissors that I created in Photoshop
