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

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

Happy to help if you need it but I can see you got advice
I don’t actually recommend it… But if you want documentation on discourse what there is of the official stuff is at Discourse New User Guide - users - Discourse Meta

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.

And what have you got your notifications set to? 
They are worth setting too and they’re in your profile 
Happy to help

Actually I mostly meant setting them off! Or at least reducing the level from going ping all the time

Wow 1.4 k posts!
Welcome @RayKes
We only get visibility when you post so that’s why the welcome now rather than on the 25th of December interesting day to join on
I guess given you read a bit you’ll have got the lie of the land? Have begun to work out the geography etc but anything that’s confusing you do shout do I need to say this is a place to celebrate support Have the cathartic moan? I assume you’ve read that on other Welcome to the forum posts?
Ciao

PS you have posted! That’s why I replied to I guess you mean not managed to do an introductory hello and this is my story? We enjoy reading but it’s not mandatory

Yay, so glad it helped a newbie 
And welcome to the forum 
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

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

I’m glad you found the community supportive and all those other things
My carer is @BakersBunny But she just offered the sentence completion " mad as a box of frogs” !
Why don’t you join the zoom one Thursday
In the meantime lurk, read, contribute, etc as you feel comfortable
Ciao
