I don't see my profile picture showing and I'm not sure why. I see it says a picture of yourself but I see that others have profile pictures that are not pictures of their faces so I don't think that is why. I there a place to load an avatar or something I didn't see?

Avatars (pictures) that display publicly along with your posts are available as a perk if you are a contributor.

This is also a way to get an avatar if you do not wish to be a contributor.
