And if that doesn't work--
1) Open a photobucket account (it's free).
2) Make sure you icon is no more than 7p pixels (I did 75 to be safe)
3) Upload to photobucket
4) Go to your "Profile" on the forum
5) Go to "Forum Profile Information"
6) Click on "I have my own pic"
7) Copy the info from the "direct link" field on photobucket and paste into the field beside "I have my own pic"
Upload.
9) Smile with demented glee at your icon.
Good luck.

P.S. Hey Topkick - maybe we should make these instructions a permanent post somewhere, since a lot of new folks seem to have the same question (myself included once upon a recent time).
