You can't, unless you have "teh skillz".

Basically, Bungie have disallowed all custom images on the Forums, to prevent vulgarity.

But -- custom avatars are allowed -- if you are a Bungie employee, or endure the harsh selection process to become one of their minions (a moderator).

Or, you can create your own Seventh Column theme -- as seen here.

And don't ask to become a moderator, if Bungie want you as one, then they'll give you the privileges.

Only 4 ways (3 for individual custom, one makes your available to all members) that I know of at this time;

* Become a Bungie Employee (custom)
* Become a Bungie.Net Forum Moderator (custom)
* Create a Bungie Approved 7th Column Theme (custom)

* Create a Bungie approved avatar for all B.Net members (community)

The common thread between them all is "Bungie". It's all up to them.

There has been talk of creating an "avatar creator" similar to the "shoulder patch" creator in Halo 2 profiles. Or allowing a linked account to display the H2 patch. Great idea and Bungie is aware of and considering it.
what is a 7th column theme,and what does it help or do?

no no no! it is an african swallow, a 5 ounce bird can't carry a 10 pound coconut! An african slwallow can.

Ahum, when are they going to accept some of the themes? surely someone must have submitted something cool by now.

But African swallows are non-migratory...


It's a matter of weight ratios really.
