Let’s face it—joining a new community is a bit like showing up to a party. You want to say “Hey, I’m here!” without actually yelling it.

One of the best ways to make your entrance? Your avatar.

It’s your digital handshake, your vibe, your superhero mask.

Why Should You Bother?

It helps others recognize and remember you

It adds personality to your profile

It shows you're here to engage, not just lurk

Whether you're repping your favorite sci-fi character, using a headshot, or uploading a pixel-perfect logo, your avatar helps others connect with you.

How to Upload Your Avatar (It’s Easy!)

• Click your profile icon (top right corner).
• Select "Settings" from the dropdown.
• On the Settings page, click the little pencil icon next to your current avatar.
• Upload your new pic (150 x 150 px is ideal).
• Don’t forget to hit save!

Pro Tip: Fill Out Your Profile, Too

While you're there, why not update a few more details? A quick intro and some interests make it easier for others to find common ground with you. You never know—you might meet your next tech BFF.
