How to change your avatar
To change your avatar first go to your user control panel

Next in the control panel click on Edit Avatar

Now you will see the edit avatar options.

Make sure the use custom avatar radio button is checked and then you have two options. You can put in the URL for a picture that is already on the web or choose to upload an avatar from your computer. Then you can click save changes to pull the picture from the URL you indicated. Note your avatar is limited based on your status so if you get an error you may need to try to find a small image or resize it yourself.

You can also choose the option to upload a file from your computer. When you click "Choose File" you will get a file explorer pop up box that will allow you to browse your computer and select an image. Once you have selected the image you wish to use you click save changes. When you upload an image from your computer the file automatically resizes for you.

After you click save changes if the avatar changes the screen will refresh and you will now see a broken image where your avatar used to be in the edit avatar options give it a few moments and refresh again and you should be greeted with your new avatar.
 
Go to "User CP"
"Edit Avatar"
"Use Custom Avatar"

"You may upload a new custom image using the controls below."

Option 1 - Enter the URL to the Image on Another Website

http://www.

Option 2 - Upload Image From Your Computer (or phone)

There are size limits on the photo, so you may have to resize it.
