@sunshine45   Thanks - I looked at how to do an avatar and thought I saw that - maybe I didn't. LOL

Oh lordy...I got some learning to do.

Yes, mine has never been approved.

It's a cat meme, maybe because I don't "own" it, 

EDIT   I just changed mine.

Do you understand how to do it after reading these responses? What version of Windows are you running? Do you have pictures saved on your computer that you want to use for your avatar?

If so, do you know how to open your Windows Explorer. If so, do you know how to open folders within Windows Explorer? If so find the picture you wish to use for your avatar. Then follow the steps of instructions there on the QVC page.

Gurl, how do you get around the internet?  Do you use explorer or google.

Is the picture you want on the internet?  Do you know how to save copies of a picture from the internet onto your computer?

 Edited to ADD - I'm not being a smart as-, I want to start at square one to walk you through it.

@Bird mama, I use google. I was going to google an avatar and use it from the internet.

Okay, so you are gonna have to find the picture you want using the google :-)

Once you find the image, you are going to have to save a copy of it to your computer.  Usually if you right click on an image it will give you an option of

"Save Picture As".  If you click the "Save Picture As", a dialogue box should pop up on your computer.

Should look something like this

It should have the name of the picture as it was saved to the internet.  You can rename it.

It should also show what type of picture it is.  Pictures with a .jpeg extension are best. 

You can decide where on your computer you want to store the picture.  The computer I am at work and I am playing with regarding this tends to default to PICTURE GALLERY.

Saving it is easy.  You just need to remember WHERE you save it on your computer.

Try saving your picture to your computer and then we can continue.
