In summary, to change your Avatar photo on your profile, click on your current photo, go to your profile page, and click on the pencil icon to upload a new photo or choose from your existing ones. This can also be done on the mobile app. To upload a custom photo, select the "Upload Photo" option and choose the desired photo. There is a recommended size limit of 400x400 pixels for Avatar photos, and if your photo is larger, it will be resized. If your new photo is not showing up, try refreshing the page or clearing your browser's cache, and make sure your photo meets the size and format requirements.

Orion1 is one of our oldest members. I think you had an avatar before we had gold membership. Now you can only have an avatar with supporter membership :)
