Go to the Metaverse page, click "edit my characters", click "edit character" next to the one you want to change, and you can upload the picture you want.

Hmmm... thanks, KzintiPatriarch.

I uploaded a file when I created the character then, but it isn't showing up. Does it sometimes take a while for things like that to show up?

I havent changed any of mine for a long time, but I recall that pictures showed up pretty quickly. Give it a little while, and if it doesnt try again. I remember that at first my pics were too big, and had to be downsized. Make sure you didnt exceed the file size limit.

Woot! Finally got it to work.

Apparently the web site didn't like the .png file I was trying to upload. But when I switched it over to .jpg it loaded just fine.

Ha! Yeah, I figured out how to get my picture to show up for Metaverse. Now, if I can only figure out how to make it work for Forums.  :SNIFF!: 

EDIT: Wow! I can't believe it. I thought it wasn't working. I have literally never EVER seen a forum before where your picture/avatar goes up on your new posts but not your old posts. Weird.
