It does mine!

If you click on your name you get your profile, in a list on the left are the settings to change it.
Avatars are in one of those.
I did not like the ones I found, but I do have my own anyway.

Congrats to everyone on the new forum.  The layout and look are excellent and the speeeed is impressive.

The ability to simply drop pics straight into a post has been long needed and is a great enhancement.  Dare I say it - all we need now is a spoll chicker :-\  ;D

Well done and thanks for all the hard work behind the scenes.

You're very welcome.  :)

The forum now uses Simple Machine - as some of you may have noticed. The amount of potential configuration is impressive in terms of what can be allowed and what can be curtailed, if necessary, but it's quite a big complex list. For the time being, I have used the recommended defaults but, if these are not suitable or, longer term, greater functionality is needed, I'll try to re-configure the forum accordingly.

Hi Everyone,
  I like the new forum, most importantly the rapid removal of off subject posts.  Also removal of off color posts.  As you may remember I did not like "simple and common" knotting words being edited by the system but have come to very much want that sort of editing.  My earlier position was an error! I have had a change of thought.  I tried to edit my profile as at IGKT-PAB elections this evening we have a new PABPRES.  Lindsey Philpott is now IGKT-PAB president.  My new "handle" is "KnotNow!" as soon as I can figure outhow to put it into the system.
