I need help with uploading pictures/an avatar

I tried uploading pictures, but when I go to tools there is just old pictures on the list. And when I click that, it redirects to video.abovetopsecret. Where exactly am I supposed to upload pictures? I need an exact link because I'm too dumb to work this website.

To upload an image to ATS, firstly click on Tools (or follow that link) found at the very top of this page and then click on "ATS Uploads".

You'll then be taken to your personal uploads page where you can host all of your images you'd like to post to the boards. To actually upload an image in the first place, look towards the upper left hand corner of your upload’s page where you'll find this option:

You then select an image, one which is saved on your computer already, and It will be uploaded to your page. Once the upload has completed, you then need to re-click on the image you just uploaded where you'll then be taken to a page which will look something like this, but with your own personal uploaded image of course:

As highlighted in the above image, if you want to post the image onto ATS, you simply need to copy and paste the highlighted code into your post. It will then show up. This is all also explained here in the latest thread on the matter: New, Fully Integrated, ATS Member Upload utility (UPDATED: and more info)

If, on the other hand, you want to upload the image you just uploaded as an avatar, you need to select this option instead (or indeed select profile background if you so wish):

With doing so, you'll then be taken back to your tools page where you'll see something which looks like this:

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/files/img/jc4fb904e6.jpg[/atsimg]

To submit your new avatar, you simply click on submit. If it's the correct size it will work and look great. Current sizes are as follows:

Maximum pixel dimensions: 170 pixels wide by 240 pixels high.

Maximum file size: Remains 75k

Thanks. I'm still a little confused. There might be lag with uploading. But thanks a lot. Now I know how to work this.

Someone help me, I got a problem too with my image background, it's size is extactly 200x700 pixels as recomended, but it doesn't fit well. I left avatar blank. What can I do?
Thanks in advance
