Well, nearly got one.
I can see everyone else's but not mine. All I get is that little white square with a red X in it. I have tried; R click, open..., doesn't
work.
Any clues guys? C'mon help a computer illiterate old fart out. Please! 
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Whats the URL of your picture?
Upload the pic you want to your archive, open it and right click on the picture. Select properties. Highlight the image URL and press ctrl+c. Go to
your control panel on this site and in the avatar url box paste (ctrl+v) the image url.

your photo archive is empty, but your trying to link to a picture on the locostbuilders server.
upload your pic to your photo archive,then view it from your photo archive and right click,
cut and paste the info in the address to your avatar box in control panel

I copied the URL from 'my pictures', of the image that I want to use, straight into the avatar box in 'edit profile'. Do I
need to put the picture into my photo archive first, then copy into my profile? Is that why it won't work?
Oops, too slow at typing. Missed that one.
Cheers, will try again.

To upload pics to your archive.
Got to the photo archive (link top left) and click on your name.
There will be a browse button which will let you find the picture you want to upload into your archive. Find it click ok etc and let it upload. Then
do what i said above ^^
