"Still lie the sheltering snows, undimmed and white;
And reigns the winter's pregnant silence still;
No sign of spring, save that the catkins fill,
And willow stems grow daily red and bright.
These are days when ancients held a rite
Of expiation for the old year's ill,
And prayer to purify the new year's will."

(If you change it later too.)
To change your profile picture. Go to your profile and hover your mouse over the picture you wish to change. You should see the message "Change Picture". Click on it and upload a new picture (not too large please - 250 x 250 seems to be the best size).
Mine used to be a bit boring, but self explanatory. Now I have a Shadok avatar, which I created myself. Shadoks are cartoon characters from France, but they are also the admins on our Discord channel.
I've chosen this F with it's thumbs up, because my real name is Frank. In the Netherlands I'm famously known as body language (lichaamstaal in Dutch) expert, that's why I think the gestures of the avatar suits so nice.
I have choice my own painted cat in aquarell, but I want change it in the future, because I find it some faint for my avatar. I don't know what, I will see later!
I'm not fond of this black faced, smiling avatar in pink background. I look forward to having more options to choose avatars. I just joined, so am trying to participate in leaving comments while learning what's here in the forum.
@clair - You should be able to change your avatar now. (There is a reason for the restriction. Some "new members" can be naughty, and there's only so many naughty pictures I can be bothered to look at.)
@Lynne I have changed my avatar into my dog because I love it so much. It is always glad when I come home and its eyes always shine for me.
Your dog is adorable. I bet it is wonderful to go home and see it every day. I have a cat, but she ignores me most of the time, so it just isn't the same!
Hello everybody. Excuse me, but i really do not know how to change my profile avatar. I am a new member and want to improve my english lenguage. Greetings.
Hi @Jobric!
As far as I know, getting the second star will allow you to change the avatar. And all you need for that is just a few more posting. Good luck!
Okay @goker, you're a night owls. Often owls are depicted as being wise and thoughtful and so I was very curious about which characteristic you'll choose. ^^
It befits a man to be merry and glad Until the day of his death.
@Zom
Really good question, i liked it.
I would choose thoughtful. I am very young to be wise but i'm working on it.
And i didn't see your answer about why did you choose your avatar, why? :)
My choise of avatar is a butterfly. I like butterflies, I find them fascinating! When they are caterpillars they struggle for being butterflies and this is very impressive !
You can be born like a caterpillar but if you struggle you can be a butterfly. This is in your hand!
Everytime I see a butterfly this is what I think and I find courage and endurance.
