Does the avatar you wish to use exist in a file or is it available online? If it's a file, can you make it an attachment. I would like to take a look at it to see if it meets the site specs.

RX8Club Rules for Avatars and Signatures:
4. Custom avatars are allowed, subject to a limit of a 8K file size and a 100x100 pixel image size. These limits are enforced automatically; the system will not allow you to upload an avatar image that exceeds them.
It is a 95x95 pixels and about 5K in size. It seems to meet the site rules.

Adjusting avatars in the User CP is not within the powers of a Moderator. I don't know or can't see what you have available. Since you are new, wait a month and see if more options open up for you.

Update: I just checked and I can change avatars. I fixed yours.

Your graphic was not originally within RX8Club specs (100x100 pixels max). It was too large. I resized it so it would be in spec and installed it.
Please read the rules (they are found in the FAQ) so you don't unknowingly violate them.

People, it is possible to resize these pictures using MS Paint or the picture manager in MS Office. Mac's have the ability to resize too.

Paint.NET is another really good option, and it's free.

It's like "Photoshop LITE"
