2.0 Update!

Changing your profile picture (or avatar) is easy.

Click on your username in the top menu, and then click 'Account details' in the drop-down:

You will be taken to your Account Details page where you can click on your avatar to change it:

The avatar editor then pops up:

From here you can choose to delete your avatar, upload a new one, or pick one from Gravatar. When you're happy with your selection, just click Okay.

Need some resizing for existing default avatars
 
Good post; I thought I was stuck with this avatar of an old grumpy guy.
Oh? Would you like a new avatar? ;)

You mean an option to resize avatars before they're applied to your account, kind of like the feature Slack has?

Is there an existing default avatar you want resized? If so, you can let me know which one and I can edit it for you if you'd like. :)
 
its allowed that have avatar with our website link? or something like promotion?

No, you can't have an avatar that advertises a website or service, as that would be considered selling outside of the marketplace.
 
How many times I can change my avatar? Is there any restrictions on changing avatar?
 
In general, it is not clear what the question is. It seems like there were no restrictions
 
That's a great, simple guide for everyone needing to personalize their profile! In the BHW community, changing your avatar is more important than just personalization; it's part of establishing your brand identity and building trust.

Many users look at the avatar and post count before engaging or responding to a service request. Having a recognizable, high-quality image helps you stand out in the busy forum and contributes to your perceived Prominence and Reputation
 
Thank you, I just uploaded an avatar following this tutorial and guideline.
