That should do it but I didn't see the new avatar that I saved on here so it might take a few attempts - I can't remember how I did it for my original pic.
There might be something I'm missing at the very end, maybe someone else can clarify that for us.
EDIT - Correction.
When you paste the link into the box on here, take the [ I M G ] bit off the beginning & end of it and then hit the Change Profile button
