well, the easiest way would it to save the image on your local disk and then upload it into the board.
That way you might be even able to scale the image down - I am not sure, playmofriends will do so automatically.
also, you should consider taken your own picture, as you are not really supposed to use other persons pictures from the web as your avatar.  ;)

best,

Okay, I experimented a little bit. the board software complains that your picture is too large and no avatar for using here. therefore it only posts the url with your posts.
I did two versions of a avatar for you into my member gallery, so you might try to use one of these two links. both will work:

If you do not like any one of those, tell me what else you would like to have and I can assist you. :)

best,
socrates

To add your own avatar picture which you want PlaymoFriends to store on the system, you need to upload it to the server, in a similar way as you would for other attachments.

More detailed instructions are here in the FAQ:

What is an avatar? How do I get one for myself? (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=106#msg676) :)

I did it for you since you were finding it a little confusing.

Thanks for helping, Socrates! :)
