    If your profile is set to private it won't show. You could create either a cartoon or photo avatar

    Cartoon, this way is fast, straight forward and easy. Go below, create your avatar and save. Then, click your current default avatar then click edit my preferences and you will see where to check use avatar.

    Photo

    Click on your current avatar then click edit my preferences to the right of your default avatar click update photo. Follow the prompts to upload it from your pc.

    Note: Ensure that your pulse profile isn't set to private .

    To fix that. Click your avatar, click view pulse click settings top line. Under privacy click manage privacy settings uncheck hide my profile Click save

    They are changing the pulse page to a new system and renaming it the profile page as it used to be. We suspect this is causing the problems with avatars.
