Avatar wants a .jpg

I was trying to upload an Avatar and I select a file on my computer, the same file used on other forums and it caused an error and tells me it has to be a .jpg. It is a .jpg file, very small.

Waaaaa?[/img]

See HERE

It can be JPG, GIF or PNG. You can't upload direct from your PC, but you can upload from a link.

That's a hassle.

Does it get stored on your site?

Or does it always just reference the offsite image?

Thanks

That's a hassle.

You said you use the image elsewhere, so simply go there and copy and paste the URL to the image into the “Upload from URL” box in your profile.

Does it get stored on your site?

Or does it always just reference the offsite image?

Our server will fetch the image from the URL you provide and store a copy of the image here.

If for any reason you run into a problem, just email it to me and I'll upload it for you.

Kind regards
Sharp.
