I'm not sure what some are seeing, but I looked at my Avatar and, since they load your pics to this board now, the only html on it was for this website.  I don't see how pics that you load here can get others on your computer or any of your personal information.  If I'm confused,  please enlighten me because I'd like to know.

I don't think they can get any personal information from your Avatar.  I'd be interested in proof that you can.  I've been thinking about using my dog's picture as my Avatar.

Hmmmm let's see ...I just added an avatar. 

Can I store more than one avatar... or just change it from my personal file?

Look how cute you are!      I'm sure you can change it any time you want.  I probably will change mine around a bit.  The secret is finding a pic that takes up enough area to be viewable in such a tiny space.   That's why I picked just the face shot of my little (big) Ru Bear.     It was his first baby pic that I got and I just love it.  But this site DID crop it off a little bit.

Yeah, I've continued to think about this (I know, I think too much) and cannot think of a way that using pics from your computer can allow other posters to see your computer.  They basically upload it to their site, just like when you use Flickr or Photobucket, etc, so the URL is from here.

The pic I selected is my little puppy boy - his first baby pic - and it works because it's just a head shot.  The avatar space is so small that a whole body shot probably wouldn't show up very well.

They aren't.  But the pic in the tool bar that looks like an emoticon is actually the spoiler tag.  The emoticons are in the one two over to the right from that one - just looks like a smilie pic w/o color.

Is that your dog chickenbutt?  Very cute puppy!!  Lol...No that is not me! I thought is was was funny.  I googled avatar pics and picked one out from a different website. I added to my photo file.  

I just cannot find where I have made my new posts.This set up is very confusing.

If you right click on the avatar and select "inspect Element" a lot of information comes up on the right side of  the screen.....

OK mine doesn't have that "phrase"..just things like "Save Image" "download imaage", "copy image" and that type of thing..

[faeriemoon]

So, should I ditch mine or not?  The only options are to download from My Computer, My Albums, or The Community.

You can't just copy one from Google images, you have to download it.

Thanks.
