I'm sorry, but I may have posted this in the wrong area. But I guess it's too late to change it now so here goes. I emailed a copy of my chosen picture for an avatar, like as described in the tutorial. Now what do I do as far as using it for the aforementioned purpose? Do I wait for an approval? I already have it ready on photobucket. thanks

Now you have to hurry up and wait.    

Give admin. some time, particularly with such a large site, the holidays, and hunting seasons being open. A guy can only do so much.  :D  

Oh, and welcome to the site.

God Bless, David B.

Thanks for the info David and Happy Holidays to ya.

Hurray! I have my avatar! Thanks guys.

Where is this tutorial that I missed? I was also wondering how to put my own picture as an avatar.
