avatar

I'm a fickle person and I apologies in advance. I see other peoples accounts have custom Avatars installed and I want to know who I need to sweet talk to get my own Avatar working for my profile, or is this something that cannot be done?

Dear all: I tried to start a conversation with a staff member but the forum software simply denied my request. Hence, I'll post the question here. Question: Do any of the staff members know how I can set an avatar for my account? There is some type of error when I try to do it via my profile...
