How do I get a small graphic next to my forum name like so many people have?

That's "favicon.ico" you can either replace the one in your main directory OR use a line like ...

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.DOMAIN.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

... in your html code.

Replacing the one in your main directory makes all your pages use the default ico ... specifying the icon and you can have a different on every page :)

In practice it doesn't need to be an ico file, you can use gif, png, jpg etc. though I believe older browsers only work with ico ... so your call.

Actually, I believe you are refering to your "avatar." Go to your User Control Panel, click on Edit Avatar in the left column menu, and follow the instructions.

Yes I think avatar is what I'm looking for but I don't see it in the control panel.

Siguie I changed the favicon using your directions earlier.:D

While looking for edit avatar this what I found under Server Status. The dots were blinking yellow. Is this something that I should notify Bluehost about? Or do they probably already know?:o

They should know.

Click on User CP in the top forum menu (it is on the left). Then, under Settings & Options, you should see the menu selection Edit Avatar.
