Sure. First, you have to load your avatar onto one of the hosting services like photobucket. Once it's there, get the URL attached to the avatar photo; I recommend leaving the hosting service open while you work because most of them provide multiple formats for each link and (if you're like me), you might not pick the right one on the first try. Then log in here and go to your profile, click modify profile, and choose the thing by the spot for your avatar that says "load your own avatar URL" or however it's said here. Copy/paste the URL into that spot, click "save changes" or however that's put here, and go to one of your posts to see if it loaded properly. If it didn't, try again with one of the other link formats in your image hosting service. I ran into that problem myself, since I'm used to loading avatars directly from my machine. But apparently this board software isn't set up that way. Maybe we as admins have an option to enable that, but I seem to remember looking for one and not finding it. Oh well, hope this helps.
