Don't like the avatar pictures? Don't know what I'm talking about?
It's simple. Go to profiles and then click on Modify Profile, type in your current password and enter a new one (if you don't want to change it type in your old one again) then scroll down till you find the heading Avatar URL:
Open up another browser and type in www.google.com. When the page comes up click on images and then type in the breed of your character. When you find the picture you want click on it and another page should come up. Click on the small version of the picture again and you should come to a page with only the picture on it. Highlight the URL (in the address bar) and cut/copy it.
Paste the URL into the white box.
Alternatively, as most, if not all, google images are copyrighted, you can made your own - plus then it's more personal. After you do that, you can create a free account on any image supporting sites, such as www.photobucket.com , and you can upload it. You need to then copy the direct link (it's labelled in the boxes of all the different forms of links) and from there it works the same way.
In Avatar Width and Height remember to put in 100 (in both). In the older versions the image would turn out ridiculously huge, I'm not sure it does it now.
If you changed your password then you'll need to re login with your new password.
