To do that you can go to the site and right click on the picture you want. Click on properties. Then get that url. Go to your MY GTPLANET, edit options and down to avatar. Hit change avatar. Enter the URL there.
Or you can save it to your hardrive as a gif. The go to MY GTPLANET, edit optiong and down to avatar. Hit change avatar and then look for the browse button to find it on file.

Yup, "If you have more than 5 posts, you may also specify your own custom avatar." Found that at the bottom of this page:

Thanx a lot u guys. A few days ago I went on a search to find a good pic of a Ferrari F50 to use as my avatar. I found a nice silver one, one of the best I've ever seen, but sadly, it wasn't small enough to fit as an avatar. 
I went and looked at some more pics of other cars when I noticed that NONE of them were small enough, so I just gave up. Thanks anyway though for helping a n00b out.

You will rarely ever find one the right size. The maximum file size is 26 kilobytes, and the max image size is 75 pixels by 75 pixels. It can be a jpg or a gif, animated or not. If you point us to where that silver F50 is I'm sure someone here can make something for you (:

Just because an image isn't the right size, doesn't mean it can't be cropped and edited with a little work by one of our avatar experts. Anything is possible!

If anyone is willing to edit the size of this pic, here is the link:

It would be greatly appreciated. But until that time, I guess I'll have to settle for the Viper.

Ok. Much, much thanks Pako and all the others who've helped me and told me what to do. There's only one problem though. I get this message when I try to use the avatar:
"The uploaded file is not a valid GIF or JPG file. Please ensure that it is and try again."
What else do I need to do for it to work? Because honestly, I haven't a clue what that means.

Oh, OK, I think I know what's going on here...
Just follow these instructions below:- Click here to view the avatar Pako made for you.
- Put your cursor over the image, right-click it, and select "Save Picture As...". In the window that opens, save the file somewhere on your computer and take note of it's location (I would recommend saving it on your desktop).
- Now, go to this page and scroll down to the bottom where it says "You can upload an avatar from your computer:". In the box to the right of that, click the "Browse..." button, and go to the location where you saved the avatar. Once you've selected it, click on "Open", and then "Submit Modifications" at the bottom of that page.
[/list=1]That's it! Let me know if you need any help with those instructions, and if you experience any other problems using that method it's most likely a server issue that I'll need to fix (just make sure to tell me about it ASAP)!
