why can i not update my avatar?

the pixel dimensions are fine, the file type is fine.
it wont even take former avatars!
it attaches the file but i get an error message when i update.
it's not a cache issue b/c it updates when i don't choose an avatar.

help please!

oh. it was a cache issue.
oops,
sorry
d

well it worked with an old avatar but not a new one.
i even tried making the pix dimension smaller and file size smaller than necessary.
still nada.

d

why wont some files post? i still dont understand. it makes no sense.
continuing the monologue,

If you'd like, send me the avatar via a PM so I can look at it.

how do i attach the image to a pm if it's not on a server?
