Fix your d#% avatars (please)

If you don't mind a mildly technical procedure, I've discovered a way to recover your avatar from the BWI site:
  1. Start by going to your profile page by clicking on a linked version of your username on the site--could be in a post you made, near the top-right of most pages in the white area, or in your account settings menu to the right of where you avatar should be.
  2. Right-click (or Command Click for Mac) where your avatar should be featured large near the top-left of your profile page (to the left of the header area of the page), and then, depending on your browser choose "Copy Image Link" or "Copy Image Address" or something similar.
  3. Open up a new browser tab/window and paste the url in and press enter.
    It will look something like:
    And you will see some sort of access denied error.
  4. Simply replace .../forums/pennstate/data... with .../forums/bwi/data... and press enter.
  5. Your avatar should appear in your browser--from here, you can again Right-Click and save to re-upload.
 
So you’re saying the default is not good? Cuz I was actually thinking of changing my dating profile pic to a white question mark on a blue background.
