As you may have noticed, you have no direct control over the image that appears for you here ----> Member Galleries (http://www.elfquestfanart.com/index.php?action=mgallery;sa=vua)
This page is something I heavily modified from the stock code, because it was, in a nutshell, obnoxious. Unfortunately that means it did not come standard with any method of choosing the image that appears under your name, and I don't have the coding knowledge to implement a new field for this.
I also did not want to just use people's avatars, as I wanted it to show their artwork. Not everyone uses their own art for their avatars.
So, basically, it picks one of your album icons, specifically the non-nested ones. Currently it is set to use the one whose name comes last, alphabetically. I have three other ways I can do this. It can be the first, alphabetically. It can be the first that you created. Or it can be the most recent that you created.
Doing it alphabetically is a little nonsensical, except that it gives you a smidgeon of control, because you *can* rename albums. You cannot change the order that an album was created in (nor am I brave enough to attempt it for you...it shows up a lot of places in the database).
So I figured I'd let folks vote, in case my choice was not in fact what most people would want.

Thanks for looking into this!
I actually don't care whether it goes by first alphabetically, or last alphabetically, so I just picked "first". But either is fine with me. As you say, we can control that, at least.
