Why isn't my avatar updating?

I set a URL: http://www.azbanjo.com/argitoth/Pictures/Shrapnel.bmp

and I press "select avatar" and update my profile. Guess what happenes? Nothing happenes. It says I have updated my profile but my avatar remains blank.

Probably, the avatar file should be PNG or JPEG,
at least it seems a logical assumption.

It's a URL, not an upload. The type should have no effect.

Edit: I just tried both, same problem. I shouldn't have to use low-quality jpg anyway. I'm trying to upload a freaken Black and White picture. When I save as JPG it makes grey artifacs.

That's just so stupid... Artifacts on a black and white picture.

So use a 2-color GIF. Rather efficient.

but the issue here is still why my avatar's link isn't staying when I update.

Can anyone tell me how they did their avatar?
