It's called an avatar... And you change it in your profile...
The topic has been dealt with previously at Avatar query

Hope this helps.
I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended.
Please be patient.
I will get to you shortly...

Did you read the thread I pointed out?

If it asks for a link to a website where the pic is hosted, then give it one...
Step 1: Join www.photobucket.com it's a personal image storage site. You upload pics to it then it's stored on a webpage.
Step 2: upload the picture you want to photobucket.
Step 3 check under the image showing in your photobucket account, there's the exact link code to "cut&paste" into the bb profile area.
I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended.
Please be patient.
I will get to you shortly...

One picture. unless it's an animated .Gif. Also check the size limitation on the avatar, otherwise the image get's distorted.
