easiest way is to upload the pic into your own personal photo archive (top left) and then find the section for your avatar within Control Panel (top
right), [edit profile] near the bottom.
The Avatar URL you need will be under the picture when you open it - ie www.locostbuilders.co.uk/upload etc etc

First of all save it at the right size in your phot archive on this site. Then go under your options on the top right where it says you are logged
in.
You can then pick the link to the avatar and insert it.

Good point. Mine for reference is 275 x 173 pixels in size. Try a search for resizing software if you dont have any.
PIXresizer works for me

Which is 75 pixels wider than the site "recommendations" 
It doesn't really bother me, I run my desktop at 1680x1050 but the larger ones can encroach on "reading space" if you have a smaller
monitor.

That's exactly what I did but from some kind of reason I get the red X .

Or was it beers?
Either way, it's a pretty good advice.

Hmmm!
can't help you as I had no idea what I was doing, just followed the instructions to get to this
(although I seem to recall when I cut and pasted the address of the picture there was some extra letters on the end/beginning that needed lopping
off)
( had another look the [img] bits need removing I think)

You need to paste:
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/upload/E46-M3-025am.jpg
into the box, suspect you've either just got the /upload/E46-M3-025am.jpg bit or put [img ] tags around it.
Should look like this:
