I'm new, How do I set an avatar?

So I’m new to insurgence and the forums. Can someone tell me how to set a custom profile picture as I can’t figure out how.

Go to your profile, go to preferences tab. Then scroll down to profile picture and upload the picture you want.

In the profile picture section there’s a ‘System assigned profile picture’ bit and Gravatar, based on [Email]’ I can’t figure out how to upload my profile picture.

Are you on mobile?

No computer.

Odd, im on mobile right now and those are the two I’m getting. When I uploaded my picture I was on a computer and I don’t remember having just these two options, I had an upload one. When I get home I’ll try to help you, if somebody hasn’t answered already.

You should be able to by using the 2nd option from Gravatar.

You have to sign up for gravatar and then upload it there, refresh the gravatar with the refresh next to it, and it should show the image you uploaded. Then save it, I’m not sure why they removed direct uploading…

Okay thank you. I will set my profile picture when I have access to my computer. I would have preferred direct uploading though.

If your on computer, press your profile, and go to settings. You should be loaded into a page, where you can change your username and a bunch of other stuff, including your profile picture.
