Due to a current technical issue members are unable to directly upload an avatar image to the PradoPoint host server. Due to a pending forum upgrade and format change this issue will not be corrected whilst the forum is in its current format.
The only way to display an avatar image within your profile is to host it on a third party site and link to the file.

The only way to display an avatar image within your profile is to host it on a third party site and link to the file.
Please read the following instructions kindly provided by "William"
Step 1: Find an awesome avatar picture and place the file on your desktop
Step 2: Go to: http://www.imageshack.us/
Step 3: Where it says "upload" click on the button that says "browse"
Step 4: A box appears - Navigate to your desktop and select your file then click Open. The box disappears and your image will be listed on the imageshack website.
Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the same image. You should now have two of the same files in the list. (this step is to avoid having to register/sign into imageshack)
Step 6: Where it says "image resize" select the dropdown box and choose "100x75 (avatar)"
Step 7: Click "upload now" and wait.....
Step 8: A new page appears. Under where it says "Get links and Codes for All Images" (on the bottom right) there will be two links. Highlight and copy either one of these URL links.
Step 9: Log into your PradoPoint account. On the top left you will see a link for "user control panel" - click on it
Step 10: Click on the profile tab.
Step 11: Click on "edit avatar"
Step 12: Paste the URL link that was copied from imageshack in the field that says: "Link off-site:"
