what is an AVATAR?
The small photo/image by your user name. Worth having one, even if it is not your own photo as it makes it quick and easy for people to recognise your posts.
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
If you look just to the left of your name on the post, you'll see a white and gray square containing a human-ish silhouette with a question mark on it. That's your default avatar. You can leave it that way or set it with any other pic you like, as long as it's the proper size. Some people use pics of themselves, some use pics of pets . . .you can use anything that suits your fancy.
As Kate said, using something other than the default pic makes it easier for people *****gularly read your posts to recognize them as yours.

Blue humanoid with a long ponytail that can connect with other creatures or trees....
