Any way we can use our own Avatars instead of standard site ones?

Apart from it being our own thing, I think it's important that everyone else has their own thing too: I seem to identify people more by avatar than name (a common complaint of mine is "this book doesn't have enough pictures in it!"; I like visual things) so it gets confusing when I see one of the few stock avatars being reused. I tend to assume that it's the same person and sometimes don't realise for quite some time, usually after someone says something apparently out of character: it doesn't get much more out of character than actually being a different person entirely.
