Hello,

I am trying to add a custom avartar and it’s not working.  
It keeps saying that my file is not a valid gif or jpg but I know it’s fine cause I use it on 2 other forums that are exactly the same as this one (same application)

here is a link to my avartar

[http://www.wawryn.com/avartar.gif](http://www.wawryn.com/avartar.gif)

does anybody know how I can  
overcome this minor inconvenience?

i even went to other threads and copied someone else’s avartar (that is being used right now) and temporarly tried to add that one but to no avail… (still says not a valid gif :q: :q: )

bsw
