Hi Chris, click on your avatar in the top right corner of your screen.

  • Click on the little person at the bottom of the drop down menu.

  • Select Preferences

  • Now select the pencil beside your avatar.

  • From there you can select your own customised pic by clicking on Upload and selecting something from your own files. If you already have a pic against your current email, you can select Gravat, based on.
    Once you’ve made your pic selection just click Save Changes.

Hope that helps, just give a shout if stuck :wink:

Well I got here, but I think you received a couple of excellent answers here already.

As I write this I see you haven’t got your profile pic up yet.

You’ll get it sorted when you are ready, I’m sure, but if you need a bit more help just post here again and one, other or all of us will pop up at your service.

Looking forward to seeing your brand new shiny avatar soon.

keep on keepin’ on

Well done, @chris67 , glad you got it sorted.

Always shout out here if you have something to say or a question to ask.

Day in, day out, the kettle is on and the door permanently wedged open.

Thank you, I’m new to the forum but your image based answer helped me get my pic up in a jiffy.

Not managed to post yet, too busy reading, learning and being inspired by you all but will join in soon just needed to post this quick thanks. XO

Yay, so glad it helped a newbie :smile: And welcome to the forum :people_hugging: It’s what this place is all about, to help each other through this quagmire we call stroke. And hopefully see each other through to the other side and our new normal.
There is a mammoth amount of useful posts on here and I’m pretty sure you’ll find plenty you can relate to.
And don’t be afraid to ask anything, you’re not alone in this now, and nothing is too trivial or out of the ordinary. Look forward to seeing you around the forum :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for the welcome, didn’t realise I’d joined on Christmas Day but it was a bit of a non day for us really and it would have been in the early hours of the morning when I was reading whilst Ray slept. Thought it was time to join as I have been lurking for a few months. I’m the carer and Ray, my partner, is the survivor/warrior.

I have been reading a lot, it’s been very uplifting/encouraging/reassuring/informative listening to you all and, in time, I hope we can give back.

I did post, didn’t I and now I’ve gone and done it again. Soon, you’ll be begging me to stop :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
