#5Why does my uploaded photo not work - again ?
viewtopic.php?t=141378
Log in - then use this : ucp.php?i=ucp_profile&mode=avatar
How do I display an avatar?
Within your User Control Panel, under “Profile” you can add an avatar by using one of the four following methods: Gravatar, Gallery, Remote or Upload. It is up to the board administrator to enable avatars and to choose the way in which avatars can be made available. If you are unable to use avatars, contact a board administrator.
Hope this helps. Or this link will help - if you are also on the Fiberglass Forum you can :
copy Avatar over instructions - viewtopic.php?t=141905

Re: Fun new FAQ's
#8Why do I get logged off automatically?
If you do not check the Remember me box when you login, the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time.
This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else.
To stay logged in, check the Remember me box during login. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university computer lab, etc. If you do not see this checkbox, it means a board administrator has disabled this feature.

Re: Fun new FAQ's
#9What are Administrators ?
Administrators are members assigned with the highest level of control over the entire board. These members can control all facets of board operation, including setting permissions, banning users, creating usergroups or moderators, etc., dependent upon the board founder and what permissions he or she has given the other administrators. They may also have full moderator capabilities in all forums, depending on the settings put forth by the board founder.
app.php/help/faq
What are Moderators ?
Moderators are individuals (or groups of individuals) who look after the forums from day to day. They have the authority to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the forum they moderate. Generally, moderators are present to prevent users from going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material.

What is my rank and how do I change it ?
Ranks, which appear below your username, indicate the number of posts you have made or identify certain users, e.g. moderators and administrators. In general, you cannot directly change the wording of any board ranks as they are set by the board administrator. Please do not abuse the board by posting unnecessarily just to increase your rank. Most boards will not tolerate this and the moderator or administrator will simply lower your post count.
