Avatars = the small picture you see of yourself on all posts. Choose an electronic photo that you would like to use. Go to www.shrinkpictures.com and click on "Create Avatar". Step 1 - Choose Photo, Click Browse and get the file from your computer that you want to use. Step 2 - type in "100" (OH wants avatars to be 100 x 100). Step 3 - click on Resize. Now you will see a few different cropped versions of your picture. If you see one you like, RIGHT click on it and choose COPY. (Do NOT copy & paste the link it gives you, this will not work.) Then, right click and PASTE that to your desktop or other file location on your computer. Open OH and go to your state board. On the left-hand side, click on User Settings. Under "Upload from your computer", select "Browse..." and go to that file and click on it. Then it will bring you back to the user settings screen and you will click on "Upload". Save. Congratulations, you're done! Hit F5 or Refresh to see the change on the message boards. *you can also use stock photos or other icons for your avatar as well, just follow the same steps above.

Thank you for posting this! I was able to change mine, but it was after MUCH frustration in trying to figure out how on earth to get a decent photo of myself down to 100x100!
