Go back to pictures,click on it to show it singley.Then underneath you should see use as avatar and an url.
Copy url and go to members tools up above.

Click ATS account settings and paste url into where it says avatar URL.
Then save settings.
That should then have your pic showing as your avatar.

Your avatar is way, way, way, did I say way,,, to large at 1024px × 768px it does not show properly in the forums but more importantly it messes up your members profile page, it blows the page format out the right side of the screen.
You are going to have to re-size it down to a maximum dimension of 160 pixels wide, by 320 pixels tall. File sizes are not to exceed 75k, and animated GIF's are allowed. (physical size can extend up to 400 pixels tall for images under 50k in file size)

If you need help, or any other member needs help re-sizing avatars just U2U me.

Ahh, thanks. I had trouble uploading my avatar too, but now, thanks to this thread, Britney has made her grand entrance.
