How do I get my own avatar cause every time I try I don't get it.

It looks as though you have an avatar -- the Ravenclaw shield. If that's not what you want to have, go to your profile and click "modify profile." Scroll down until you see the avatar fields. One of those fields is for your custom avatar (I don't remember what it's called). Right now, it may have the url for the Ravenclaw shield in it (the url for the Ravenclaw image currently showing as your avatar is img.photobucket.com/albums/v400/Rayzgirl/shield_04.jpg). You need to put in the url for your own image -- one that is uploaded to photobucket or another website -- instead of the one that is there now for the shield. Then you have to put in the dimensions of the image. The maximum size is supposedly 100 x 100, but you can use something smaller. (Your current avatar is larger and not square. I guess the size limit isn't enforced -- and since it's a "Rayzgirl" image, it may be loading automatically from the board for some reason.) When you use photobucket, the dimensions appear on the page with the image, and you can just copy them into the dimensions fields in your profile. After you have put in all that information, you have to go down to the bottom of the page and click "modify profile."

Okay, I took a look, and the field you need to fill out with the url of your avatar is called (appropriately enough!) "Avatar URL:" -- so just put in the url that you want to use. If that doesn't work, contact a moderator.

Hope this helps.
