An avatar cannot be larger than 120 pixels by 120 pixels and 21 kb.
To make a picture your avatar, you will need to click on your username at the top of the Forums, then my profile, hover over the picture bit and the change button should appear. This will bring you to the Avatar Selection Screen. From there, you can either enter the URL (web address) of the image, or select and upload it from your computer's hard drive. Or, choose one of the avatars already on the forum. Do that by clicking 'Go!' next to the Base Gallery list. It's a drop down list, so you can also choose from 2 other galleries.
