Are you pasting the URL from photobucket or a similar site?

"invalid file" is the message.
I am trying to use a file from this site- this picture.

Yes, that link wouldn't work...the file is not supported because it isn't a file, but a link. You need to save that picture to your computer (or not if it's already on your computer xD) and upload it through an image hosting site like Photobucket, TinyPic, etc. and put that link into the avatar area...thing...lol. Sorry, it's too early for me (although it's 9:30AM) :doh: Or you can just upload the avatar directly from your computer - your choice. =) Here's the thread all about avatars and how to upload them: http://www.baywindfarm.com/forum/showthread.php?t=770 It might be some help. =)

I uploaded it for ya... :)
If you want to change it now or in the future... just save the one you want somewhere on your computer where you can find it (desktop is easy) and use the direct upload. It should resize it for you, you don't have to do that part... I think it's easier.
