Newbie avatar question?

Sorry for the newb question, but how do I change my Avatar? I cannot seem to find it in my account settings. I've been given a girl image.

The answer is, git gud.

Yes I'm painfully aware that 30,000+ posts on an Internet forum is far from "good"

Post more & avi changes, until then you are a girl.

I like it this way, I have spent too long staring at funky avatars

I didn't want a funky Avatar. Just wanted to choose a male image as I am male. Most forums its possible. No problem though, I understand it changes as your post count increases.

It's just the way they do it here, if you zoom the text box in enough you can only see the text and not the pictures, you could do that until you get to
the post count that changes the picture.

You can just hide the avatars if they bother you too much

In 98 posts time, it will change.
