Hmm... I only can tell you how I did get it to work.
I think I had to have 5 posts to get the 'use your own
pic/avatar' feature unlocked (not sure about that, though).
<b>Uploading the pic to the forum-server didn't work for me</b>
When I tried to upload my picture onto the forum, I always got
some kind of weird error message, wich lead me to the assumption
that it wasn't allowed to do for the average forum user.
<b>How to upload your pic on your own ISP webspace...</b>
The only thing that worked for me was to upload the pic on
my own webspace (most of the ISPs grant you a lil webspace,
like AOL where you can put stuff like that).
Look up on the homepage of your <b>I</b>nternet <b>S</b>ervice <b>P</b>rovider
for instructions how to use your personal webspace provided by them.
To upload files on your webspace, you can use a program like <a href='http://www.ipswitch.com/downloads/index.html' target='_blank'>WS_FTP Pro</a>.
<b>...and updating your forum-settings with the location of your custom pic</b>
All you have to do then is to enter the <i>exact</i> 'internet addy' of your pic
(f.e. "http://www.home.myisp.com/images/yourpic.jpg")
I'm not really good at explaining those things,
but I still hope you'll get it done somehow. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
