Jason,

Welcome to the Forums. you'll find the folks here very helpful.

As for the little picture you need to go to the top of the home page that says Collectors Forum click on my profile which is just to the right of the picture and the click on View/ Update Profile.

Scroll down to Avatar Image. this is the little picture. You can choose one of the images that John has laoded into the system or choose your own.

If you choose your own you'll need to go to this Forum
http://www.lighthousekeepers.com/cgi-bin/forumscgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=000275

which explains how to upload images to the Website.

I hope this helps. If you have any more questions feel free to contact me, or use the link on the form to send your question to Dave Hannum. He's extremely helpful.

Dennis
