    Is the file type compatible? JPG (jpeg) or PNG?

    It's generally a straight-forward process. I reduce the file size first before attempting to upload. Your present avatar looks as if it has been reduced and then enlarged and in so doing has lost its clarity and definition.

    My avatar was a 564x510 jpeg. Don't remember having to resize it or anything.

    Fair enough, BSS, but if the photo was taken with a good camera, as I have done with a few shots, the pixel size could be as much as 5184 x 3888. That is where an upload will fail. Your miniscule:) 564x510 jpeg wouldn't have presented a problem.

    I think we need the wisdom of super mod @sps170373 to resolve this:D:D.

    Is it the present avatar you're trying to reload, or another one?

    Are you saying you can't see your Avatar on screen? This is what we can all see...

    Try 'delete current avatar' at bottom of avatar edit box, and then try to upload something completely different. If that works, it would seem your Repsol avatar is either incompatible or corrupted.

    As @Lozzy says, you do have the Repsol but its not a good clear pic.

    Yes.
    Yep, much better now.

    And I must say that a Repsol looks better in an avatar than in real life. Well done!!:D;)

    Gee, I owe you one. :D

    I remember once promising not to malign Repsols. I must have suffered a relapse:rolleyes:. But you know what, I am still looking for a mint 2007 Repsol. In the words of Alanis Morrisette: Isn't it Ironic?

    I've already posted pics of this re exhaust, but too many miles for me.

    That's why you crop/resize appropriately. The pictures I post are taken at at a high resolution and then I do cropping and resize. I posted the size of the avatar pic I used to hopefully give @Madmackie a starting point from something that is known to work.
