You have the option to choose an avatar pre-made by the Dis or you can upload one. You have to copy and paste a link to your photo (from maybe Photobucket or Flickr) into the avatar uploader. If your image is too large or over 100x100 it won't load. Try compressing and resizing your pic on a photo editing website such as Picnik.
THANK YOU! i have another question if you dont mind. I had no idea you responded to me post...is there a way that it can send it to me email? cause i just found this post again lol.
