I have tried to add another avatar as I removed my old as someone else had the same one and I kept thinking that their posts were mine. Anyway I have tried and tried and keep getting this message "Not a valid user icon URL". I am doing what I did before but something is not working. I have the pic uploaded into photobucket is that site the problem? If so which is best? Ta.

Sounds as though the address you are using is incomplete shris - do as Carith suggests, open the pic and copy the address from the top menu bar - think tha is all I did too. Should end up looking something like this:
