This is what it says under the Novices and Newcomers FAQ:

How do I put in a picture/image/avatar?

In the screen where you can edit your profile, there is a textbox under the words “OR enter your own image URL (support: .gif .jpg .png .swf)". Put the complete internet address of a valid image in the textbox.

Common reasons for a picture not working:


The URL you entered is not correct.

The website that hosts the picture does not support linking to outside sites.

You are attempting to link to a picture on your own hard-drive instead of one that is hosted on the internet at an accessible address.

The image is not one of the supported file types.
What you need to do is find a picture you like on the web somewhere, then right click on the picture, a little box will pop up, click on the bottow where it says Properties. Then another box will pop up, and towards the middle of the screen will be the part that says Address. Simply copy the address and then go to your own profile, and in the space where you are given to add your avatar pic, simply paste it there.

By the way, WELCOME Dûrlossiel! Hope you enjoy your death in the Downs.
