Depends on where it is happening:
* If it's in a forum post, click on the button with three dots on the post in question. On the dropdown, select "Holler this" and put your complaint in the input box that opens.
* If it's in a private message, go to AskTheTropers and open a query. Make sure you check the "make private" checkbox before saving.
* If it's elsewhere, go to AskTheTropers and open a query but without checking "make private".

[[folder:How do I share or upload an avatar?]]avatar?]]
Go to the upper right corner of a page and click on it. A dropdown opens, with one entry saying "Profile" which should link [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/profile.php here]]. On that page you see your account name and above it an image - click on it and it will show two buttons one of which has a + sign. Click on it and then either drag the file to the input box that opens or click on the input box to have it search your system. The file has to be already on your computer before you can upload it. If the system accepts the file, you'll need to hit "submit". It lands you back on the profile page, there you need to click the other button left of the + one. It lands you on the avatar gallery, where you then select the file you want to use as an avatar. If anything about this doesn't work, you'll need to ask for help [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/addpost.php?discussion=15382781280A10228900 here]].
