You'll need to host it somewhere. Either on your own webspace, or a free image hosting service like Imageshack. Once you've hosted it, you can link to it from your forum settings.

Click "My Home" from the top of the page, then the "Edit" to the right of "Personal information, email, password, etc." from the Main Configuration bit at the bottom of the page that takes you to.

At the bottom of the next page there's a bit about setting an URL to your avatar; the avatar's your picture, and you'll need to upload it somewhere like PhotoBucket so you have a URL to feed to the setup page.

I think the size limit is 80x80.

[/ QUOTE ]Images larger than that work, they'll just get resized by your browser, which doesn't usually look that pretty.

Although they have the upside that anyone can just look at the image link and see the image at the original size.

Path_Finder, It seems you have the picture in a private folder as going here directly:
http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/1549/pathrr5.jpg
It comes up with this browser error code: '403 - Forbidden'
Once the image folder is public it should show up, you can tell by your avatar box with the X in it that the link has been accepted as an avatar image, but the image cannot be loaded for some reason. (The above error.)
