Hmm... That's weird. What picture are you trying to upload and use? Can you attach it to a post?

Maybe it's not in Jpeg format. Try converting it.

One super easy, computer illiterate way to do it is to use the paint program, if you're running windows, like this:

Open the picture you want to be your avatar in paint, click the "file" option at the top of the program, then click "save as". A new dialogue box will open. Now, type a new name into the "file name" box and then, in the drop down menu titled "Save as type" just below the "file name" box and select "JPEG". Once you've done that, click "save." Now, try using that image as your avatar and it should work.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Maybe it's a wonky url. And because I'm such a nice person, I whipped up a new avatar for ya. Here, try this one:

Who knew the President Polk was a Kyo fan? In any case, we'll get this avatar thing straightened out in no time, just do everything that Mithrandir and Osaka tell you to. :evil:

*edit* it seems that my site has decided not to trust CAA and is blocking the hotlink attempt ...

Yay! It's working! I converted it into jpeg. I thought it could be in PNG format as well.
