You need to host your pictures elsewhere e.g., http://photobucket.com/
Upload your pictures once registered, then copy and paste the IMG Code link into relevant section on your profile :y

hi, on photobucket as suggested,
You need the full URL in your avatar link - not just the file name as you currently have..
-
Copy and paste the link from one of the three boxes under the pic on photobucket --- one should be labelled Avatar -- so the sizing is done for you

sorry to be so thick, but what is URL?

The link at the top of the screen.... (www.photobucket........)

Once you have uploaded the pic you click the box as shown below and you get the message 'copied'
(http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll138/mrgaffney/pic_link.jpg)
Oh you need to click the box labelled 'DIRECT LINK' not the one I have shown in the pic.
Then in the box where you put the link to the image right click and select paste, save/update and roberts your fathers brother :y

under your picture in your photobucket album, cut and paste the 'Direct Link' in to your profile.
