I read the below text and it didn't help. Is this feature available yet?

Not that I have an avatar in mind but one never knows.

How do I show an image below my username?
There may be two images below a username when viewing posts. The first is an image associated with your rank; generally these take the form of stars or blocks indicating how many posts you have made or your status on the forums. Below this may be a larger image known as an avatar; this is generally unique or personal to each user. It is up to the board administrator to enable avatars and they have a choice over the way in which avatars can be made available. If you are unable to use avatars then this is the decision of the board admin and you should ask them their reasons (we're sure they'll be good!)

you can't fix everything at once. Take it easy or you'll burn out.

Google Avatars. I found out how to do it from Yahoo of all places

Pretty cool

Well I tried adding one to my profile after I downsized it (since they are usually thumbnail size) but not sure what else has to be done to have it appear with my posts. Perhaps I need to make it even smaller.

The instructions say 6kb and 80x80 pixels. Now trying to reduce an image is stumping me. I have an Icon generator, but it hasn't helped as you can tell by my red X of defeat.

I tried adding one too. First few were too large, reduced the size to within the specified pixels and overall size and go messages about access denied. I'll try from home later
