I get an error message saying there are extra characters in my link or in the picture. I want to add a picture that's on my desktop. Pretty simple but for some reason it just won't upload.

You can't upload a photo from your computer. You need to link to a photo that's on photo bucket or some other image site.

Put it onto a public photo-sharing board, like www.photobucket.com, and use that link to the picture where it says "I have my own picture"   This is the format line from mine:

Ok, I created a space on photo bucket, upload my pic, put the url in the profile box and clicked update. It didn't show immediately. I logged out  and back in, still no change. I'll maybe give the system a chance to update and check again. Thanks for the help.

Looking at your profile, I can't see where anything's been changed. You have to check the box that says, "I have my own pic", and enter the link to the photo. If you want to just send me the link in a pm, I can make the change.
 
Same thing for anyone else who'd like to link to a photo for their avatar. I don't mind doing that.
