new, and in need of help!

If it's the avatar you're talking about (mine is the wolf next to my name), than simply do this:
go to your user options (a way to get there is "quick links" -> "edit profile")
go to "edit avatar"
now you can say which avatar you want to use (there was a good site for finding avatars, but I forgot the name)
after you're done just save changes and that should do it

The same way you can change all sorts of other options (such as "baka", which can be found in the "edit profile"-part of your options).
