Thanks,
Lyta. I actually found B-W's instructions a few posts above:

You can store as many as 10 for your account.

And that did the trick. However...
HARRUMPH! I thought the 64x64 pixel limit was the same as on the old board. However, my avatar on the source URL on the old board appears to be 66x66?! So now I have to trim it down, and find the email address of my fellow B-Der that is kindly hosting my avatar for me, and get it reloaded to that site.
See image attached:
Harrumph, again! I tried the "Attach file" function on the Post Reply screen. It allows me to browse my hard drive for an image and specify it there, which I did. (A copy of my 66x66 avatar .jpg that is only 3.69k.) But in Preview Reply mode, I don't see the image, and I suspect I will not when I submit, either.
It must fool me into thinking it will upload it from my hard drive but there is some restriction on that in the forum software, though the "Attach file" option is not disabled.
Harrumph, harrumph!
Let me try the IMG insert button to go for the URL:
Well, if that don't beat all! as my Gaffer used to say.
Hm. Oh well, on the bright side, maybe this is the worst thing that will happen to me this week.

Edit by Theron:
When I submitted, that's when I see the "Attachment" as a link to the image. So it DID attach when I submitted, and uploaded to the forum somewhere. It just doesn't show the picture directly in the post, and the attachment link is not shown in preview reply mode. Okay, I will remove at least one
Harrumph, harrumph!

2nd Edit by Theron:
Thanks to
Miss Underhill, I know have my resized avatar rehosted and reloaded.
I also like the new BB's ability to load both images and avatars, though I doubt I will change my avvy often.
