I made a few changes here. One of them is you may no longer upload an image from your computer to use as an avatar.
You can still add an image to your profile, but you'll have to either add it from an online photo storing site or use a photo upload editor that stores your image indefinitely on the internet.
OK, so how do you do this?
First, if you have an image stored on photobucket or a different on line photo storage site, copy and paste the url that will start with "http" into the line that says "I have my own picture."
Then click " change profile."
If you want to use PostImage.org to upload your image, click the link to PostImage in the left navigation panel, upload your image using their upload tool, and then copy the bottom link that says "Direct link to image" into the same line as above, making sure to click change profile when you're done.
If you can't figure any of this out, you can post a message asking me for some help and uploading your image from your computer into a message.
If you have any questions about this, just ask.
