Since so many new members decide not to check the Forum FAQ and instead open a thread, here is the one and only Avatar Question sticky, taken directly from the
Frequently Asked Questions page
How do I show an image below my username?
The image below a username when viewing posts is known as an avatar; this is generally unique or personal to each user. In order to select an avatar, you need to have at least 50 posts outside of the Polls & Games forum. Members who post frivolously to obtain an avatar will first be warned and then suspended if nonsensical posting activity continues. Contributing to forum discussions regularly will allow a member to reach 50 posts easily and they will then be rewarded with the privilege of selecting an avatar (maximum size: 100 x 100 pixels, maximum file size: 20 KB) from their computer, the Gallery, or elsewhere on the Internet. Once a member has 50 posts, the option to select an avatar appears in the Profile editing section.

Glad I read the FAQ before starting a new post about this!
Reaching 50 posts should be easy!

Thanks

Well, it can have a negative impact as well. People could just post pure drivel in order to get an avatar.

I was just wondering how to get those pictures up onto your profile to be seen each time. Like, the small picture under your name than the big banner thing....

Hey, I want to change my icon, but every time I do, it keeps telling me "You must fill in the required fills". All of them are filled, and I checked everything and it seems fine.
Any problems with the site? Or I am doing something wrong?

Something has been screwed up, and you're now required to fill in ALL the password fields in your "Edit Profile." Hope that helps.

It does not matter. You must put something in. I always put in my current password 3 times.
