Thanks Mike. That worked. Another of the oddities of this forum I guess. I had tried the 'change Avatar' from the user settings. It is found several different ways, but apparently does not work.
I appreciate the help.
You reminded me to check the sticky on changing avatars. It previously had no longer available Photobucket pictures.
I updated this with new pictures to guide you thru the process.
The key is the two avatars - one for the forum and one for the Pipesmagazine.com website. Changing the forum avatar is the one most folks want to update.
