Karen, I was able to use the IMGBB photo storage website successfully. If you do a search on IMGBB you will find detailed instructions for using the website that were posted by Ngaire in October 2018.
Ngaire's instructions worked perfectly for including a photo in text or a signature. However, to insert an avatar (profile picture) one change has to be made. Instead of selecting BBCode full linked, you need to select Direct links from the in EMBED BBCODE drop-down menu. Once the code is generated, copy it and insert it into the avatar section of your account.

PS For some reason, LCT won't allow me to use a URL in this message. I get an error message when I try to do so.
