I know there's a few wondering this and it appears our own good doctor found the way and copying his technique seems to have worked for me so I'll post a quick FAQ (I get to play with the code command too ;D) about who it's done for those who wish to have an avatar.
What you need for your avatar
- a picture on your hard drive you want as your avatar (has to be 100x100 resolution max)
- a window/tab opened to Imagebam (though I suspect this could be done with other places.
- a little bit of patience
First thing you do it to go to your profile page by hitting the "profile" button near the top. From there you hit the "modify Profile" link and you get take to the part where you can fill in your profile.
Scroll down the page until you get to "Personal Information" and you are looking for the spot "avatar URL".
Over on imagebam you've gone and uploaded your pic and they give you whacks of code to use. The code you want is at the top under "All at Once" and you're specifically looking at the "BB code" - essentially this:
Now the part we are looking at is the http thumbnail part - this
Now take that part and copy & paste it into the Avatar URL spot on your profile. At this point you see you can also resize it if you so desire but as you can see on the profile the max dimensions are 100x100.
When you're done goto the bottom, hit "Modify Profile" and if you did it right you should have a nice avatar to use on your own.
The forum also a set of their own you can use but truthfully they're pretty blah.
Hope this helps you out and feel free to ask any questions if you run into trouble.
