You can upload pictures as an avatar but, due to their size, there is rather small limit on the file size allowed. Additionally, you will not be able to use an animated GIF.

Note the restrictions listed in the upload manager for the Avatar:
Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 150 by 150 pixels or 24.4 KB (whichever is smaller).
Anything much larger than that will result in an Upload failed error.

Please see the following post from the Help Guide:

Thanks for the reply! I just noticed that at the bottom under "posting rules" it shows "you MAY NOT post attachments" not sure what that means, ans why not ?

You must be a premium (supporting) member to use the Attachment feature:

However, that restriction is not related to the Avatars.

you can reduce the size of the picture you want to use as your avatar and it should work
