I've tried JPG, PNG, and GIF. The file format is not the problem. The problem is my link not staying active after I update my profile. Oh, look at that. A shrapnel avatar works.

it's a few bytes more than a kilobye: 1,036 bytes

Oh hey look at that, I figured out the problem.

Re: Why isn\'t my avatar updating?
 

The problem was that when I updated the link, it made everything lowercase.

The link was http://www.azbanjo.com/argitoth/Pictures/Shrapnel.GIF

But shrapnel kept changing it to this when I updated: http://www.azbanjo.com/argitoth/pictures/shrapnel.gif

I realized this because I'm just that intuitive. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif


And the #1 thing I hate about asking for help: people always giving stupid answers, I don't want to name names, but oh... here's one, "Arryn".

Now Arryn, is it nice to be mean to me when I did nothing wrong to you? Wait, I can answer this one. That would be a no. So get off my damn back, seriosly. I'm tired of your harrassment.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Look, if you don't want people to offer suggestions, don't ask for help. Considering what information you'd supplied, Arryn's suggestion was quite reasonable. A little far-fetched and unlikely, perhaps - but far from possible; and without more knowledge about the particulars than you'd given, it is hard to give concrete advice. Listing a handful of "might be the problem" is the best help you could get.

You're not being polite.

Re: Why isn\'t my avatar updating?
 

Oh, no one was giving stupid answers. Just Arryn is being a real pain lately and has been consistently harrassing me making cracks and comments about anything he can think up.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I can't see that Arryn was being anything but civil and helpful in this thread. If you see anything else, let me respectfully suggest that the problem might be with your eyes, and not with what is actually there to be seen.

The problem may well be eyes, or with basic reading comprehension, since I have said on many occasions that I'm not a 'he' ...

Re: Why isn\'t my avatar updating?
 

Lief, he has been harrassing me in many other threads, not just this one. But this time I'm saying that it's not right. Before, I was trying to ignore it thinking maybe he would stop, but now I can't take it anymore. I've reached my threshold.

Lief, already you don't even want to consider I am telling a truth. Have you ever considered that just maybe, by a slim chance, I'm not retarted and know what harrassment is and what is not? I'm not trying to be mean to you Lief, just trying to spell it out, make a point.
