I'm not sure if this is Mac related, but when I try and upload a jpg file with my avatar I get:

The avatar upload failed. The file you specified may not exist.

Any suggestions?

I've tried several files, all from my desktop, and get I get the same response every time.

Pretty sure the upload doesn't work. You have to host the picture someplace.

Upload your picture to Imageshack.com / It's free and really easy to use.

You can upload and use images as Avatars once you have them loaded there.

Just follow the hover-over instructions.

Cool, I used the Imageshack method. Once I use the link how long does it take to show up? Do I then have to choose it? I'm really not clear on how it works.... :cyclops:

Hey Jimmy: When I use:

http://yfrog.com/2jmadhatuploadjx

I get this:

The avatar you entered is not valid. Make sure the url is correctly formatted, and the file type is either gif, jpg, or png.

Grog:

Yes. Those are the exact steps I take...  UGH.

I tried two pictures, one 60x60 and the other 64x64

I couldn't get the ImageShack image to show up, but

http://www.graymattercomputing.com/files/screenshots/madhatupload.jpg

works OK.

Must be something wrong with the URL ImageShack is providing.

If you're going to use the image at:

http://www.graymattercomputing.com/files/screenshots/madhatupload.jpg

let me know so I can make a note not to delete it.  Otherwise, next week I'll wonder what it is and dump it.
