How do I add a picture to my profiles?

To be clear, you essentially have two profile pictures on the RGC Web site. The first is the overall RGC Web site profile. We'll call this the "main site" profile. The second is the forums "avatar".
When you created a login on the main site, you created a forum account, too. But because the account information is accessed different and stored in two different spots, you will need to make two different updates.
The upside to this is that you can update your profile and avatar images independently and whenever you like.
To upload or update your main site profile image, complete the following steps:
- Enter your login username and password for the main site.
- Click My account, found in navigation at left.
- Click Edit, found under your username.
- Scroll down until you see the "Picture" portion of the profile. This is where you will update or upload your profile picture. (see following image example)

- Click the Browse button and navigate to the profile image.
- Click the Save button at the bottom to save your changes.
To upload or update your forum avatar image, complete the following steps:
- Enter your login username and password for the main site.
- Click Forums, found in the navigation at top.
- Click User Control Panel, found towards the top of the forum.
- Click Profile, found in the Options menu at left.
- Click Edit avatar, also found in the Options menu at left. This is where you will update or upload your profile picture. (see following image example)

- Click the Browse button and navigate to the profile image.
- Click the Save button at the bottom to save your changes.
