Ah well.
As to the avatar, I dont know if youve done this but check its properties, right click on the image and choose properties (dont think im patronizing if you know this already, im just covering all bases). If the image size is bigger than 50 by 50 pixels or the file size is bigger than 19.5 kb then it will not be accepted as an avatar by the forum.
The other thing is make sure the image is hosted online. You cannot use an image from your hard drive, it has to be hosted somewhere. (Of course you could know this too, and I am guessing you use this avatar on your other forums, but just covering all bases again).
If neither of those works, well I dunno what to say, ask a mod or admin maybe? (though I dont know who they are

)
