confused Ok! So would someone please explain what an AVATAR actually is. dunno
• noun (chiefly Hinduism) a deity appearing in bodily form on earth.
— ORIGIN Sanskrit, ‘descent’.
That is the actual meaning of the word Avatar. It has been subverted to signify an Iconic representation of your self.

clear as mud: :dunno:
the manifestation of a Hindu deity (especially Vishnu) in human or superhuman or animal form; "the Buddha is considered an avatar of the god Vishnu".
a new personification of a familiar idea; "the embodiment of hope"; "the incarnation of evil"; "the very avatar of cunning".
You could try this explanation,

although it is not the one used in computer terms.
It is the devine aspect I like, a bit like some of the devine avatar pictures on here (should I mention Dawn tits at this point ??)

Or.............
It's the small picture that appears under your nickname on the left.
It has to be a jpg or gif image, be a maximum of 102 pixels wide by 102 pixels high and the file size has to be less than 20Kb. You upload the avatar by clicking on 'profile' at the top of the screen, scrolling down to the bottom of the profile page, clicking 'browse' and then identifying the picture on your PC that you want to upload.
