I'm having difficulty setting up my avatar.I'm clicking "custom avatar",uploading pic from my computer,etc.But no dice.Any help would be great,Thanks

Ya, so you go USER CP, then EDIT AVATAR and you will get the box for CUSTOM AVATAR....check it.

So you now you can upload you avatar from you computer (browse button) or off site link it....like a webpage or host site like photobucket.com or tinypic.com something.

Good luck!
