Customizing Avatar

How can I customize my Avatar? I've seen only "community avatars", but I don't see how to create/upload a new one.

      This is great Amanda!

      However, I noticed you have to approve all the images, not only Avatars but also images posted in the forum within a message. I don't think that an "approve first" policy works well in a community. I would suggest you to use an approach "check later and remove" or at least enable users who are already "trusted" to publish images. You don't have such a policy in MSDN forums, I don't see the reason to use it here.

       

      Thanks!

      It looks like Customize allows for choosing from a few options. When will we be able to upload an image to use for out Avatar?
