Could someone do a quick step-by-step guide on how I could put a picture/avatar next to my name?

Thanks in advance.

in this forum its possible, but sometimes in other places they request a url destination to upload the image. How can you do that?

Thanks for the response Jack. Unfortunately it won't accept my .bmp image. :-( Never mind.

If you find the image on the internet, you can usually do right-click --> copy image location. If it's on your computer, you use a site like imageshack to host it.

My guess is the problem is that your image is a bitmap. While bitmaps should be okay, they tend to be 253246265243MB in size. Try editing your .bmp image in MS Paint and "Save As" a .jpg, then use it. Should work with no issues then (as long as you try to upload the .jpg one).
