yeah, there generally seems to be a bug about loading avatars currently - currently what you do is post your link and a nice admin person such as me will come along and put it up for you

but yeah, its some weird bug in the current board : (

You can't upload your ava. If you want your own personal avatar, you have to PM whatshisname - it says so in the profile. It's to do with avoiding viruses or such things.

Yeah, the upload thing is broken. If you host it and paste a link, it's fine.
