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.

    Due to popular demand, we've now turned this on for everyone! You can now upload your own avatar under My Settings. Keep the requests coming!

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!
