Hi, Will, and welcome to the forum !
To upload an avatar photo, first go to settings (top right hand corner of the page), and then on the left side of the settings page, you will see one that says " my settings ". Choose that, then go to avatar, and it will let you upload a picture for your avatar. You can also add a signature from the same place, as well as fill out your profile.
Hope this helps. Also, there are some good instructions on the main page at the bottom on the forum information thread (under "community").

Will, I see you HAVE filled out your profile; good man. Westpoint trained you well.
Welcome to the forum Will! :wave:
You can upload a photo from your computer by clicking on the "Insert Image" icon above your post. Click on "From Computer", "Browse" to locate the image, "Open" and "Upload". To use a photo from another website, copy full URL of photo (not webpage) , click on "Insert Image" icon, click on URL, copy and paste.
Another way to add a photo to your post is to click on "Go Advanced" under the post, if you're not there already. Then, below the post, click on "Manage Attachments". Click on "Add Files", browse your computer for the photo, open, and click on "Upload". When it's uploaded, click on "Insert Inline"...and it will go into the post you're working on.
You can also start a photo album, and upload the photo into that. Then you can use the same "Insert Image" icon, click on "URL", then paste the copied BB code from the photo in your album.
If your photos are bigger than 1024x768, they will be re-sized automatically during the upload. After the automatic re-size, the file size will be reduced below 300KB (most will be smaller than 200K). So, you don't have to reduce the file size. But some photos can be very big, you can save some upload time if you reduce them before the upload.
