How can I use my own image on my profile?
In order to have access to your profile, you have to be logged in. Go to your profile and click on 'Edit profile'. Here you'll be able to choose your photo and to upload it to the site.

Why isn't the new image I uploaded showing?
Sometimes, your browser may store a cached version of your old profile picture, therefore meaning it loads the old version instead of the new one. To resolve this, you should either use Ctrl+F5 (Internet Explorer) or Ctrl+Shift+R (Firefox, Chrome, etc.), or completely clear your browser's cache.
