    We have added a new feature to forums, it allows you to use your current Minecraft skins head as your forum avatar, as you can see mine being used in this news post!.

    If you have already specified a custom avatar and wish to change this will explain how to update yours.

    1. Select your user control panel by clicking on your username in the top right corner of the forum.

    2. Now click on Personal Details menu option, when you are on the Personal Details page, you will see your current avatar, just click on this image to change your avatar.

    3. Once you have clicked your current avatar, a window will open just select the Use Minecraft Avatar and enter your Minecraft user name in the box below, then click okay.

    4. Your avatar will now match your Minecraft skin on the forums, if you update your skin in Minecraft it will also change automatically on the forums.

    Is there any way for the avatar to display the hat?

    Sadly not at this time, but I will see if the developer can add this.

    I'm happy with my Powder Toast Man avatar, but I'll definitely use this later.
