Most folks make their own avatars either from images of their own creation or from images they have downloaded.

For uploading


Profile>Upload Avatar

It has to meet these requirements (GB has already added the new requirements)
Avatar :
175px x 95px
20KB Limit
JPG GIF PNG


Submit


After you submit your Avatar use the Test Thread to post in and check to see that it's working.  Do a force refresh of your browser to make sure you aren't seeing your old avatar that is stored in the browsers cache.

click on your name in the top left corner - that'll take you to your profile.  upload avatar isn't working for me at the moment, but I'm guessing that's from the traffic...

GoatBoy reccomended holding down 'Shift' and clicking 'Reload'.  This worked for me.

Make sure you aren't caching your old one. (I see your new one, cause it looks much better!)

SHIFT+RELOAD any page it's on and you'll make sure to get the newest one right away, regardless of caching.

There was an issue uploading new avatars.  It seems to be fixed now.

Upload your avatar and force refresh your browser page. Shift+refresh or control+F5 (at least for windows browsers) to make your browser download the information rather than pulling it from it's storage cahce
