No matter how freaking small I make my pic, I can't upload it as my avatar.
What gives?
Am I a freaking moron or somethin'??

Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions!

Less than 50x50 and less than 5k. You are not a moron. Lots of people have problems with their avatars (not me though. I can make at least 3 avatars a night, baby).

If this makes you a moron, your not the only one. I've been struggling with this one as well. Thanks for posting the question. :)

I finally got it.
I shrunk down a little Twin Peaks pic of "The Waiting Room". Now I'm sportin' an Avatar!

WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I LOVE Twin Peaks fans!

Hey, while we're on the subject, is that song by Camper van Beethoven "that gum you like is back in style" based on the quote from TP season 2?
I heard it and I was like HUH! Is that a TP reference??

OK, wtf? Why can we no longer upload animated avatars? This sucks. I've always had an animated avatar and I just tried to upload a new one (to get rid of my holiday version) and now it says that we can't have animated avatars. What gives?!

I seem to recall that you can't use gif avatars anymore.

lol

All I can think of is to blow it up to the size you want, then use something like Paint to smoothe out the pixelization. This would require more artistic talent than I possess. Maybe Due has nothing better to do.

I have no advice; sorry.

But for what it's worth, rcc94's avatar is giving me a headache...
