Okay, I'll do my best to explain it. First you find a website that has a picture that you want for your avatar. To find mine i did a search for "linkable gifs." A .gif file is a kind of file which is usually an animation like the dancing chicken. For example the link for my dancing chicken was "http://www.angelfire.com/md/sirv01/images/danchic.gif" Once you have found the image you want to use and its link, you then go to the little avatar selection part, and at the bottom it has a place to put the URL. In this place you put the link to the image of your choice. Click "set URL" then "select avatar" then you should be back at the main profile editing part, make sure you click update profile. Then after your next post you should have then new avatar. It seems pretty confusing but once you figure it out it is easy. I hope you get it to work. 
Best of luck.
