When I try to change my avatar, I get an error saying to check the url, but the url is correct, the picture is 50x50 and under the requested size...

Wirm!!! welcome back

It doesn't like some urls. e.g. it sometimes won't accept google images thumbnails.

You can try downloading it then using the browse option.
Or you could try uploading it to gifworks or the other site mentioned in the second post, make some insignificant tweak, then see if it'll accept the tweaked version

HTH

Wirm, I've been getting that recently too, but when I logged out and back in again the link was fine and the avatar in place
