I had the same problem. I created a photobucket account and then put a pic of me on there and go the url from that pic from pb and copy and pasted it into my box on here. Thanks to patch for the advice on that!

That's exactly what I did and it worked out. I had to tweak the sizing of the avatar so that I didn't look like a stick or an ogre, but the photobucket thing worked.

argh I've tried and tried, using photo bucket as well and just can't seem to get this to work! I know this is a stupid question but any tips! I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong lol

Under the share this photo info on photobucket, copy and paste the "direct link" and paste it in the "avatar URL" text field on proboards. The image can't be any bigger than 100x100 pixels though. If you don't have anything to re-size an image to make it small enough, you can use something like www.webresizer.com/
