4. How To Upload An Avatar


Your avatar is the picture below your name when you post a new topic or message. By default, all members have a Green Party logo as their avatar, but you can upload a different photo if you like.

The maximum dimensions are 200x200. As per our guidelines, all images must be PG-13 or under, so nothing rude please!

To get started, click on your profile button.
