Yes... I have a walk through, click on profile on the top tool bar. Then click Modify Profile, Once you get there to go down to the avatar url part of the page and put your picture url in in the box by using copy and paste. and after all that just click Modify Profile. And you will have you new avatar!!!
Now Picture info. You need a picture no higher then 100x100. To find a pic using the web I like to use google image search. Now once you find a pic you like you right click on said pic and it will have list of things that you want to do with the pic and at the bottom of this list you will see properties click on that one and you will see info like size, url and a few other things as well. copy the url if the pic is smaller then 100x100 and then paste into your Modify Profile page.
If you want to use a pic you have already go to my documents and right click the pic you want and at the top of this list you have open with and you want to click Internet explorer. and you copy and paste the url in that address (url) on your Modify Profile page.
I hope this helped...

well another nice site to help you with that is if you need a place to host an image on your computer but don't have web space to do so, use them Image ShackThey are pretty easy to use and they host images for free

Was it the right size? Did you copy the url right? Did you in put the width and height? Did you test the url?
Avatar: None Avatar URL: Avatar Width: 100 Avatar Height: 100

well with image shack it would be "url 1 for forums" otherwise it won't display. If all else fails e-mail the pic to me and I'll put it up for you.
**EDIT**
Okay, I figured it out, apparently proboards changed their system a little so that you don't need the url and image codes for the specification. All you need is a direct link to the image. so if you use image shack like I do for my avatars, then all you do is use the direct link to picture (the very last block) and put that in there, it should work.
**EDIT**

but your avatar is up already, although I think I've got it a bit out of proportion.

That's really odd, on my side I can see it. Maybe another image host instead of image chack will work
