For avatars you will need the direct link to the picture. For example, if I want a giant smiley as my avatar, I can go and find the picture on a website.

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Smiley.svg/800px-Smiley.svg.png&imgrefurl=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Husond/Archive_13&h=800&w=800&sz=89&hl=en&start=2&sig2=7CVY0vhbv_iPwbHj9iw-sQ&um=1&tbnid=CtMqx7vSfy7l6M:&tbnh=143&tbnw=143&ei=ko0ISODCH6P-iQG446CzCw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsmiley%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den%26sa%3DN

If used, the link above will not give you a smiley as your avatar. The above link is a link to a webpage, not an image. If you want the image, you must got a link directly to the image.

This above link is exactly what is needed. It is the DIRECT link to the actual image.

Note: to get the direct link, you usually just click on the image.
