Re: Why Is It
Can you use a .bmp file as avatar picture?
I don't know how convert it to a .gif file and although I can upload and define the .bmp file as avatar it just will not remain there after I hit the update profile buttom.

Re: Why Is It
Now I tried the .jpg file and this apperently works in contrast to the .bmp file.

Hey Q, even though you got your avatar to work now, I thought I'd let ya know how to convert a .bmp into a .gif. First of all open your .bmp image into whatever image editor you have, then go to Save As, then name it, and select the save as type to .gif, or ,jpg or whatever you're wanting to convert it to. It's simple as that, hope that helps for future use.

Re: Why Is It
Thank you Ragnarok for your answer.
Unfurtunately that is exactely what I don't have in my (quite old) Adobe photoshop software: the ability to store it as a .gif file.

Re: Why Is It
But you can save it as .jpg file even in oldest Photoshop. Then, rename it as .gif in Windows. Believe it or not, it will become _almost_ genuine .gif file !

Re: Why Is It
Even MS Paint- which comes with Windows- can convert to .gif files..
