Try using a gif file format for now thats what I had to do, jpg, and png were a no go.

GIF worked, thanks.

Ya seems like Jpg and bit doesn't work atm even though it says it does. Only gif works atm and that has a more blurry color scheme on avatars. Also just to change avatars it sucks that you have to get email confirmation just to do that alone... better security is better but just a pain to do something simple not affecting passwords.

Could a forum mod sticky this so that people realise Jphoenix's fix?

Stickied as requested.

Changing formats seems to have screwed up my image quality :/

limited to 256 colors :(
time to redo avatars :(

My avatar looks better now ^^

yea gif only worked for me
