Yup, been able to upload your own since at least DU2.

Go to your profile,, go to Avatar image, click on Edit, and then on Upload your own.

Avatar images will be resized to 48x48 pixels. The maximum file size for avatar images is 10kb.

As a retired person on a small fixed income... (or maybe I'm just cheap. We may never know).

It may be a perk of Star membership, not sure.

I made a bunch of Wes Clark avatars back during the '04 primaries, so at least as far back as DU2.

You can do it very easily using this free program.
