I'm being a bit dim here but how do you change your avatar?

I cant seem to find the probably quite obvious place

click on your name in the top right corner of the page, from the drop down menu select 'Profile'.  On your profile page, the avatar will have a little photo icon hovering in the bottom left, click that and the rest is fairly self-explanatory.

I found that the sizing option mostly cuts off edges from some of the photos you'll most likely have, unless you have one of the car at a distance, hence my front view being the only one suitable without losing some of the car.

Done! 

 

I have to say this forum software is really good it was just that bit that was foxing me!

But... as I said, it would be preferable to see all of a member's avatar, not just part of it. Not sure if this can be sorted other than my earlier suggestion?

 

I guess you could Photoshop or similar a border all round the photo so that it's then this new border that gets cut off?

We can set the avatars to be square, but we decided it looked a bit crap, so they're round.  Just make sure you don't crop too tight around the picture of your car (or whatever you want to put in your avatar).
