No, upload your image to the SE upload forum, then use the url it gives you for your avatar.
Thanks Gandalph

Don't know how to upload, so did a search.

For all the fellow newbies, Taz-in-Space had this to say in the thread "Eclipse Avatar":

Quote:
Kimball, the easiest way to add your own avatar is to upload your graphic to Shrapnel's server.

1)goto New Scenario/Mod forum
2)enter to a topic thread
3)hit post reply
4)click on Upload File Form ( to left of type in area)
5)Browse or enter address of picture file you want(Gif or jpg)
6) click on upload button

once you have uploaded your file, you will get a message with a file path and number that represents your file.
Use this path and number in the avatar URL area of your profile.
Viola! You have a custom Avatar!
