Is an avatar the moving photo under your screen name? i.e the chicken dancing? Where do you get those from and how do you set them up?
if you choose a picture from google then you should be able to go into control panel and paste the url address in the profile image box, then press submit and it should load. (I think)
but thats hot linking and steals other peoples bandwidth there used to be a button to upload a picture! Wheres it gone?
