jocko, I know you are all smiles and quite talented, too.  To change avatars, go to the column on the right and scroll up to "member options". Then click "my profile". On that page is a place to put up a new avatar.     By the way, I have several kept in a folder on this computer incase I want to put a new one on and still keep the old one. That works for me. So far, I haven't changed but once, maybe.   My face is not the thing for an avatar..,maybe neon paint would help! LOL>  Enjoy the heat of your homeland tomorrow!        Tom.
