Adding or changing your Avatar & Banner
Click on your member icon and click on Account details.
Click on the Choose File button under "Use a custom avatar". Note that the image should be at least 400x400 pixels, which is higher than it was before the ScubaBoard 2021 upgrade. You can drag a rectangular image in the square image window to center it for the look you want.

The new image will display so you can check the appearance. You can change the image anytime by repeating this process.

There is no law that says your banner image has to be underwater or even diving related. However, it is important to select an image that works in the cluttered environment it will be viewed in.
