Trying to get a picture under Avatar, failing miserably...help??

The search function is your friend

upload this small version to you archive, then copy and paste the code into the avatar box and then delete the [img] and [/img] tags that begin and end the code and it should work
Rescued attachment 3DSCI0001.jpg

It will not allow me to upload to my archive mmmm

Strange,
have you right clicked on the small image and saved picture to your PC then tried to upload it.
