Tried uploading a avatar picture and it failed. Have tried this from 3 different PCs. Is there a restriction on new accounts?

Guess I got a false failure.. Hmm

Last time I did one, it took a bunch of tries to get it right. It's kind of picky about file size, and dimensions. I took it off a few months ago, and will have to put up another soon.

It is most likely a file size error. The limit is stated right under the "Upload File" button and reads: "Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 100 by 100 pixels or 64.0 KB (whichever is smaller)". I use a free program called IrfanView to resize files I want to upload. Uploading photos to this site requires a maximum of 800 X 800 pixels and I have used it to resize my photos so they will upload also.
