These small images are called "User Pictures", "Profile Pictures" or "Avatars"
They will appear under your username in each of your posts. There are two types of user images:
- those provided by the administrator and
- those you can upload yourself.
If the administrator has provided a set of user pictures for the use of members, you can choose a user picture that most closely reflects your personality.
The Administrator can also allow custom avatars. These allow you to upload your own user picture from your computer to the site
