    Hit your handle, then upper RH corner wheel, then same upper RH corner edit profile, scroll down to avatar, change/upload.

    I tried this, but am on an iphone. No corner wheel; no Avatar option. Is there a trick to navigating the forum?

    I am finding the forum extremely hard to navigate. I cannot even find the main page or find the clicky for “my posts.” Any advice appreciated.

    Any luck following @Rdp77 suggestions?

    I had the same problem with my iPhone. The only solve for me was to pull up the forum on my laptop.

    It actually works. I use my phone 99.9% of the time.

    When I hit the three lines, this. Which of these lets me upload an avatar? I’ve been through the lot n+1 times. Impasse; frustration.

    Changing to my dead desktop or a different os is not an option. Nice meeting you fine folks, but this interface is cruelly indifferent to a class of user.

    If you’re on your phone, you’re going to have to enlarge the screen where the three lines are… Just like @Rdp77 said. The damn edit profile is under the three line.

    Blow it up so you can get to the thing behind the lines. A tab for “edit profile” will pop up
    Then just scroll down to this..

    When I enlarged the living (!) out of it, I found a tiny window that lets me edit. Sorry about initial drama.

    Quite the checkered past here in terms of discretionary intoxicants. Retired chemist (expressive shrug.)
    The one I miss is ketamine.

    I'm glad that things worked out in the end.

    I like that the three horizontal lines is known as the hamburger button or menu.

    I’ve found the classic psychedelics to be too much hard work. I worked down the hall from a talented indole chemist and whipped up a batch of a psilocin derivative that was supposed to be a one-hour quickie. Thirteen hours in, and I was still fighting to keep it together.

    Took a half-dose once and it dropped me into several hours of paralytic panic anxiety. Verdict: nope.

    I do regret never having come across any real LSD that possessed the trinity: identity, purity, (precise) quantity.

    Ketamine, now … it melted reality with a built-in cap on anxiety. To misquote Dr Seuss: Oh the places I could go!

    Interesting how times have changed. 50 years ago or so we had to drive to Nacogdoches, climb a fence, keep an eye out for the bull, and make sure the stems turned blue. Oh, and there was this guy named Owlsley who'd passed his secrets on...but, that was then. Fond memories that I won't be repeating.

    Radio silence. I tried calling him during the Tennessee herf, straight to voicemail. I'm hoping he's OK and just been too busy.
