Avatar - how to change pic

How do you change the Avatar (Profile Pic)?

Edit: Do not use an avatar - is the only option I get ??

For a while now, the avatars on the forums have been broken. The people who still have avatars are admins of the forums and people who had avatars hosted externally before the bug went out.

I'm not entirely sure the status on the fix, but I know it's very low priority in comparison to the game. Sorry for the inconvenience.
