We are currently having an issue with being able to upload an image to your profile (so you can have a pic of yourself or something else of your choosing, rather than the anonymous icons used by default.) 

However, Gravatar.com is a great, easy to use online service that can set you up quickly. 

The basics: 

• You give gravatar the email address you use in conjunction with your online presence here (i.e. when you signed up, what email did you use?)
• You then give gravatar whatever image it is you would like to be used for your profilehere. 
• Gravatar is well connected around the internet! Whenever you log in to a forum, or do anything else that requires a profile pic, if gravatar knows that website, and your email is connected to your account there, gravatar instantly supplies the profile pic your provided. 
• This website is connected to gravatar, so if you log in here,. it know what profile pic you would like to use.
