To add an Avatar from your computer or another website

To upload your avatar or to use an avatar hosted elsewhere, first follow instructions for number 1 above.

1. Look down to 'Your image avatars'. To select a website to use an avatar, whether it be on photobucket or another forum, add the URL of the image in the box. Photobucket will supply the URL after upload, or if using from another forum, right click the avatar, click properties, and copy the avatar URL from that.

If uploading from your computer: Click Browse, and select the avatar from your folder.

Once either have been filled in, click 'Update Avatar', and your image will upload/or link to avatar elsewhere.

There are limitations in place in terms of filesize or picture size, so try not to make it too big, or it won't work.
