How can I make the forum draw my actual avatar from Xbox Live?

The current one I have is the one I picked but I have customized it a fair bit… Instead, it shows the default. How to change it to my actual one?

It would be nice if they would draw from peoples actual xbox avatar instead of the ones from the 360 days. Tired of seeing that ugly avatar thing in my gamercard

I even tried to fire up my 360 to change mine but I couldn’t get it to change

I have often wondered this as well. Maybe ask " Alan J T " if I am not mistaken I noticed a change to the avatar associated with that profile about a week or so back. Hopefully Alan or someone else can shed some light on this question.

You can change it only on an xbox 360, if it doesn’t change on the forums try again later, maybe server problems. Try playing a game on the 360 after changing your avatar, maybe if you use a save file (uploaded to the cloud) it will trigger the change.

Hi guys and as far as I know only way is via a 360 I tried several times with the Xbox One with no luck.

I Pluged in then booted up my 360 and downloaded my xbox profile when it asked then went in to customise avtar took a new pick left the 360 on for about 10 minuits and then just turned it off again and unpluged it again, and about 2 days later the new avtar pick appeared in the Forums.

To the best of my knowlege it can only be done with a 360

And you also need to download your Xbox profile as well due to changes made on Xbox One and PC
If you dont have a 360 borrow a friends you just need to download your profile and take a new profile pick and then wait about 10 to 15 minuits for it all to synchronize back up or shut down the 360 and unplug then plug it back in and power up and log in this should force a cloud sync with your account.

Wow got to love the Mods they approve me post and then move the whole topic to a different section

Thank you for the information.

So, download profile on Xbox 360. (if your profile is already there delete it and download again just in case)
Take avatar picture on the Xbox 360 avatar thingy (It’s called Avatar Marketplace I guess) and it should update.

It is a pain. I’m so much younger and better looking on my current one :slight_smile:

T10 or whoever is running this site should give us the chance to change the avatar online, like on every other site on the internet
