When I try to change the Avatar, I get "This JPEG image has the incorrect file extension." error. They are gifs, which I've used before. Little help?
 
Hard to help without having the image file. Upload it to Phyrefile or something.

Also moved this thread to the forums section. :hammer:
 
Ah, I see. I read the "Where in the world is" thread and figured out what you were up to.

The forums serve ALL forum images with a URL in the format of avatar12345_X.gif, i.e. a GIF extension even if it's not. When you uploaded it though, it saw that the image was a JPEG but had a .gif extension so it complained.
 
Ah thanks. Appreciate the fast response
