You got to edit your picture to prefered size and then upload it somewhere. Take a look at some pictures around ATS to see how the different sizes appears when posted. Here´s an example. This picture is 397x600 pixels (width x hight). Usually the picture should not be too wide when posting on ATS...

If you posted recently there will be an orange/yellow edit button in the top right of the frame above the picture. Click edit, and change the link for the picture. You can point it to the link below if you like. Or resize the image with a photo application of your choice on your pc, and save it to a host like imageshack. Then point the link to it.

I changed the size for you.

I just wanted to say thank you to Shadowman, I was getting quite frustrated with setting up my avatar; when apparently all I had to do is do a little searching..

I believe someone once said patience is a virtue..

Spartacus out.

gaaone1, I've never heard of flickering screens when trying to place an avatar.
Double check that the image you are trying to use doesn't exceed 160x320 px. If you are still having trouble feel free to U2U me.
