Your chat account is separate from the rest of your Hungry For Hits account. This is because people can use the chat without being logged in to Hungry For Hits. By default, your chat username is your Hungry For Hits username, but you can select a separate username and password for your chat account. Typically it would be a good idea to use your first name instead of your username.

The same goes for the chat profile picture. Chat doesn't take your profile picture from Gravatar like the rest of the site, since members can use the chat without being logged in to Hungry For Hits. So to add your profile picture, you have to click the green Settings link above the text field where you write a chat message to upload a picture from your computer.

Since the chatbox isn't very wide, it is easier if you first click the Open link to open the chat in a new window, and then click the Settings link. You can also do it here. Add the information you want to use, then click "Save" and "Return to chat".
