Ok, to do this go to "My profile" up in the right corner. Then go to "View/update profile".
Then scroll down, find the button, "select different avatar image". New window will pop up.
On the bottom of that box will be a line that says "Use Custom URL:" then a text field. Then a button saying "Set URL". In the text field put the URL of the image in there. Upload the image to your own server space or you can upload it to the Shrapnel server. I took the chance to do that for you.
The thing is the avatar has to be 48 by 48 pixels. So I had to resize it. But with it being wider then it is tall it looks a bit off. So it's up to you if you still wanna use it. But in that text area put this link. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1035342641.gif

That should do it. That will make your avatar look something like this...

Hope that helps.

Actually, my avatar is a 128x128 picture, and the forum resizes it automatically using height and width settings in the < img> tags that it uses when generating the html for each page. You don't have to resize the pics for the avatar.
