I read through the FAQ and it said that if I want to use a custom avatar then it has to be 60x60 and under 5k. My avatar is 32x34 and under 5k. I tried uploading it and I got this...

The uploaded file is not a valid GIF or JPG file. Please ensure that it is and try again.

sooooooo, uh, like, what do I do?

It works for me, man. Try saving it as a different file type.

I just tried uploading it and it worked, so I really don't know. Try what BOU said and upload it as a .jpg or something.

Use the URL-linking option.

You can also try clicking the icon, dragging it to your address bar, copying that location on your hard drive, and trying to use THAT as your avatar. Sometimes that ends up working for me when all else fails.

On the other hand, you can also just ask one of the admins to install that avatar FOR you.
