I am a subscriber on this site but I can't figure out how to get a picture. What does it mean 'upload a picture onto the internet then enter the URL here'? Why can't I just select one from the My Pictures folder on my computer like you do on most other sites?

The reason you can't just use a picture on your computer is because other computers would not be able to see it.
Many sites on the web allow you to open an account for free and then upload pictures. There's the one mentioned above and also www.photobucket.com.
Once your pictures are uploaded you should be able to cut and paste the URL, which (on most sites) appears underneath the (uploaded) picture.

Or Imageshack where you don't have to open an account or register or anything, just click on the browse button to your picture then the host it button. Copy the URL and bob's your uncle etc etc.

I also use photobucket [as mentioned above] for my own saved photos.

I did as per the instructions, thanks everyone. But it doesn't seem to be accepting my avatar. I get the usual blank box with an X in it. Why is that?
