How does one edit their avatar and signature? Does it require a paid membership, or am I just too inept to find it in the CP?

It requires a contribution
 
I must admit I'm biased, but I think this site above all the other forums I've visited is by me(and no doubt others) Held in the highest regard.

I was here for perhaps a month before I contributed, and in no small part this was due to the responses I got to questions, the professional manner this forum has, and the excellent capability of the mentors in explaining in clear and concise ways.

You don't have to contribute and if you're still at school or not earning a wage I wouldn't suggest you did, but if you can do. I've been surfing the interweb for a few years and have found many forums, but none as strikingly good as this one.

I'm not one to give out compliments willy nilly either, if I have a problem with a site I'll say so. But I seldom have a problem if ever and that is testament to the skills and learning of those in authority.

Respect where respect is due.

Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
