My avatar has all of a sudden turned into an annoying little "X" and I have no idea why.

Those "X"s usually turn up when a website cuts off access to an image, right? But my avatar is stored in my computer, in a file whose code looks more or less like this:-

C:\Users\Me\avatar.bmp

So in the User PC, I went to Edit Avatar > Use Custom Avatar > Upload image from computer and put that code into the Examine box. But when I click on "Save Changes", nothing happens.

I´ve checked that the image I have is just 80x80 pixels, so if anyone has the patience to suggest what I should try next, I would be very grateful indeed.

I don't even understand how you people get a big avatar in the first place. I know it must be explained somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. If I need to request it from a mod, then how do I do so?

[NEVER MIND - found the avatar request thread]

What are you using to crop? And are you sure that you're cropping and not just resizing?

I just found a better version of the pic i want to crop. I used a website called cut my pic cause the resize site suggested by mb doesnt crop for me. Doing it all thru my phone.

Could you link me the site you use to crop?

Ja the issue is most likely with the image itself.

I usually crop using ms paint. You can also use imgur or find a good site with a basic crop function in a Google search. Cropping shouldn't be affecting the quality of your images.

I just use Imgur. It used to **** up photos when you cropped them but now it's fine and takes two seconds.
