To add a little to Dan's post, there are 3 Galleries. Flags, Humor, and Railroad Logos. Just click on the 'Show Gallery' button.

Ok guess I should have been more clear. When I select my avatar it shows up at the bottom in my avatar control panal. I then click submit and it exits out of my profile. When I go back to my profile the avatar is not saved I have to repeat the process all over again with the same results. Do I need to submit a URL to the avatar which I don't have?

If you're selecting an avatar from the gallery you don't have to submit a url. If you're trying to upload an avatar of your own you'll have to host it somewhere else and link to it.
For security reasons I have disallowed uploading avatars. I'd kinda like this forum to hang a round a bit longer.
If you need someplace to host your avatar I'd be happy to place it on my site. Just email it to me.
Does that help? :) The
'Forum Guidelines' does explain all this.
It can be found at the top of the forum categories.

Did you put a bullett in the box under the avatar then click on 'Select avatar'? Then on the main Profile page click 'Submit'.
Which avatar is it?

I open up my profile then click on show gallery. I then select railroads and click on my avatar. It shows up in avatar control panel then I click submit. When I go back in to profile it is no longer there and I have no avatar selected.

I was talking about a board game Rail Baron.
I have played many rail games in my time that includes board games.
