5. Next go to the settings button on the top left of the ATS website. Then select Edit Profile.

7. Click the EDIT profile button at the bottom of the page.

Remember to follow ATS's Avatar and Signature Guidelines

I hope that helps

Try using photobucket.com it's free and you get more space.

I'm not sure what you mean...

A backround image with an avatar on top?

Maybe you could link to someone who has what you are asking about.

No, you see how I have the "powder" picture as an Avatar, I think I have seen members have two small pictures one on top of the other instead of a big one like I have now.
Thanks for your help.

I guess what I'm trying to do is to stack two small pics into one avatar?
Can I do it here or do I have to do it on my own computer and upload it as one file?

Yes you would have to make your avatar first on your system then upload it to a host.

Edit
Assuming you are talking avatars, and not a background image with an avatar on top.

One issue that I see is in your Avatar's location. The file name is "ats58810_pamm". If it's an image file then it should include a file extension such as .jpg (ats58810_pamm.jpg), .gif (ats58810_pamm.gif), .jpeg (ats58810_pamm.jpeg), etc.

Figure out what file format your desired avatar is, and see if adding the right extension helps.

P.S. The "ats58810_" portion is added by ATS; so when you upload the "pamm" file make sure that one of the above extensions is there at the end of the filename. If your computer is set to not show file extensions, then the proper extension should still appear in your member upload list. Click the desired upload, then copy the full address. Just make sure an extension is there at the end when you copy the location into your Avatar URL line.

When I try to upload the image for the avatar it says I can't until I have so many posts.

Am I missing something?

It means you need 20 more posts to be able to use the upload feature on ATS's servers; however, you should still be able to use an uploaded Avatar image from a service such as imageshack or photobucket. Simply upload your image to one of those and paste the url into your member center "Avatar URL:" field.

The problem you're having now is that you've pasted the wrong url into your member center avatar url field. It should read "http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww336/jped62/Noname12.jpg" (without the quotation marks).
