While uploading a pic for my AV, I get that message! (In Title).

I do have my file size in pixels 200x200, and it is less than 256KBs. - I've also tried, the two file extensions .jpeg & .png

I'm not sure, but I think .jpeg image can't be uploaded as avatars. .png surely can, though, so I dunno why do you get that error when uploading a .png image.
If it doesn't work even with a .png image, then convert it.

Try changing the avatar's image file to either .gif or .png. If it's from a different site, I suggest downloading the image and changing it that way.

Failed on a .gif too... :/ - Can Admin or a Global Moderator upload the AV for me? - Please :)

Are you sure you've converted it correctly? .gif surely works, my avatar is even a .gif image.

Maybe try uploading it on a image host site. Cop the url of it and u should be good.

Did that too, I should've said that in the Main-post.

Sure did, all you need do in paint programes like Paint.net is to open your pic and then save as then choose your format

Are you sure you're actually selecting the filetype in Paint.NET (from the dropdown) and not just naming the file extension yourself? This would result in the image being saved as "image.png.bmp" or another extension that doesn't work for the site.

...but also .gif will not work. - Are you willing to upload the Avatar for me Joey? - Admins can do anything and everything for the User.

My question still stands regardless of how many extensions you've tried.

Can you provide screenshots of the process you use to save your image files and what error you get when uploading them?
