Avatars cannot be any bigger than 150 x 200 pixels and 64 KB. The
forums also will ONLY accept PNG, GIF, and JPEG formats.

two options, to upload from a website (like Imageshack) or from your
computer. To upload from a website, you need to upload it onto Imageshack
or similar service. Once it uploads, copy the "Direct Link" URL into
the box and click Save Changes. To use one from your own computer,

Open and click Save Changes.
