1. In your profile, select “Select a different Avatar image”
2. Find the Avatar you want.
3. Right click on it and select “Copy Image Location”. Depending on your OS, you might have to open the picture properties window and then copy the address of the image. The key for this step is to get the address of the picture and copy it.
4. Select “Cancel” on the left side of the screen to exit.
5. Go back into the “Select a different Avatar image” screen.
6. Go the the bottom of the first Avatar selection screen.
7. Go to the “Use Custom URL” window.
8. Clear it out.
9. Right click and select “Paste” to paste in the URL of the image you picked.
10. Then press “Set URL”
11. Then go to the upper left and click “Select This Avatar”
I just verified that this works. BTW: This was the process I had to use 3+ years ago when I picked my first Avatar. I think there is supposed to be an easier way, but if so it has been broken for a long time. Since I found a workaround on my own, I never thought to mention it. Sorry.
