Commongoal123 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 As the title suggests... does anyone know what the symbols embedded into someone's avatar next to their handle means? For example, I have a "C" as an avatar because I haven't selected a photo. However I have seen avatars, photo or not, have a smaller symbol embedded within them. Such as a black circle with a hand in it with 2 fingers up? Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Posters are given a basic avatar which is the first letter of their username. Alternately, via their profile, they can upload an image of their choice. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Commongoal123 Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Like I wrote above, I understand that part. However some avatars, regardless of a picture or not,, have a very small black circle in the bottom right of a hand with two fingers up. And I am trying to understand what that is.

I use a phone mostly so I can't hover a cursor, but when on a computer I will give that a shot. Thank you again. Edited December 31, 2020 by Commongoal123 Typo Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Lemming Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Can you go into your profile and edit your profile picture/avatar (from your phone)?? As a side note, be careful about pictures that are copyrighted. My avatar is a barrel cactus from my yard taken with my digital camera, so I don't have to worry about someone coming back at me regarding "copyright infringement". Link to post Share on other sites
