Okay, sounds like I am doing it right. When I do the steps you outlined above it says I do not have permission or access to that page.
I thought the difference might have been that I have administrative privileges that allowed me to change the avatar. So I just created a test account that is a normal user account. I then logged on to it on my iPhone, took the link to my account (by touching my user name next to the inbox button), and touched the avatar. That took me to my profile page. I then touched the avatar, which took me to the avatar editor. It asked me if I wanted to upload a new avatar, so I touched the "Choose File" button. It then asked me for the source (take a photo, go to the photo library, iCloud, or "more". I selected my photo library, then a photo. It took a few seconds to upload. It did not complain about not having the correct permissions.

I took a look at your account and don't see anything that would prevent you from doing the same, so I'm at a loss. Anyone else having that problem?

I did, but realized that my login timed out. Once I logged in again I was able to reset my avatar.

This new version of the forum works great. Thanks for all the time, effort and funds that the home office put into this project.

Great looking forum. Thank you to all who did the work to get it to us.

Ira, I am also a Premier member. How can I change that status?
Gee. I don't know. :)

For anyone else needing their Forum status changed, see the thread in the Forum Q&A area entitled "Need Your Forum Status Changed?"

Lets see if I can post a photo to the new forum (I couldn't on the old one).

It looks like I can do this if I reduce the size to about 800 or so--"small" in Windows 10 parlance.
