Dont' know exactly what an advatar is-? picture. I'd like to post a picture of my cat under my name when i post, and I don't know how to do it. I have a 35 mm picture of Razzle that I'd like to use from years ago. I guess I need to scan it into my computer first but then what? I'm not computer savey.

There are Avatars and Signatures.

To add either click on the user CP

On the left pick avatar or signature (whichever you want to add).

To add an avatar click on avatar and then use the choose button to find the picture you've scanned and saved on your computer.

Click save changes.

To add a signature you'll have to make one (or someone here may volunteer to make one for you if you send the picture to them) and then upload it to something like photobucket or flikr.

Once you upload it (This is using photobucket) you can hover over the image it pops up a screen. Click on the Img code and it will automatically copy it to your clipboard.

Open up the signature Edit and right click and paste the img code. Then click save (or preview to look at it first).

Oh heavens.....

Avatars have, of course, been around for tens of thousands of years.
