Question about avatars
 

I have a picture saved on my computer that I would like to use as my avatar. When I try to use it though the response i get is this is not a valid image. Can someone explain what the proper type of image needed for an avatar is?

there should be a place to load it from your pc, you sure you're putting it in the right blank space? i think theres two. make sure its not too big also.

Im pretty sure Im putting it in the right space. How big is too big?

i forget but i think avatars you can have up to 175x175

I think you want a .gif or a .jpg. if that's what you meant.
