I had a request to be a bit more explicit.
This is for putting a picture in your Profile.
First make a 64x64 pixel image of what you want in your profile. Put it up on flickr (or something similar).
Go to the picture in Flickr. Drill down all the way until you are looking only at the picture. Find the place where the link information is and copy it. It will look something like:
Paste this somewhere where you can edit it and then select the text that is between the tags
Now open your profile and click edit. You will see a line that says "Avatar" with a box next to it.
Paste the url into that box and you're set. ((Note, according to Leonora below, with thanks: https:// does not(!) work, only http:// . ))
You can also use the same url in the Options for the forum. It says you need to have a png, but it takes a jpg just fine.

[img] and [/img]In this case that would be
