You can't for now , Avatars has been used for an Exploit and got the forum hacked once . so Theymos disabled them
They will be available once again on the new forum software which should come out on Beta soon . Check the sticky thread on "Meta => New forum software" .

Wait until the new forum is released.
You cant add avatars due to security issues if I remember right.

Avatars were banned a while ago due to the forum getting hacked. As far as I know there is no way to get one until the new forum gets released.

This and a lot of other things are answered and explained in the "Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0)"-thread.

Q: Why doesn't the forum let me add an avatar?
A: The forum was hacked some time ago. It is thought that the avatars were used as a means of injecting malicious code into the forum. Even though the vulnerability was patched, the avatars will be disabled until a new forum software is released.
