I believe you must upload the Avatar to a photo sharing website like Photobucket or Imageshack and then link to the avatar you uploaded to the photo sharing website. As for the size limit...I have no idea what the limit is, however I would suggest keeping it at a reasonable size (perhaps 200x200 max).

According to the forum rules, which are admittedly often ignored, the maximum image size is 80x80 pixels, and the maximum file size is 6kB.

The reason is simple: Talkchess is hosted for free by its sponsor, so we don't host pictures. No picture you see on this forum is hosted by Talkchess.

Which has never been a problem, as it is really easy to host your picture somewhere else and link it in your profile.

You could also just describe your chess system in words, why created a PowerPoint slide and uploaded to YouTube??
