I've been having the same problem for weeks.  I get a message that says that the file size is too big or something to that effect and it's a small jpeg file.  Not linked to Photobucket

You might have better luck with a .png file. Anything over 250kb will not load up. Try resizing to 100kb or less and convert to.png.

I just remembered what I had to do to solve that problem. My solution was selecting the "Specify Avatar by URL". I've since transferred most of my avatars and images to Image Shack; perhaps using a URL hosted address may work for you.

it is likely that linking to Facebook, to your account photos, probably wouldnt work since FB is something required to log in...
then again, so is Photobucket and that always worked until the site went down...  i dunno lol
anyway, you will need an image hosting site (not photobucket)...

Direct avatar uploads do not work properly anymore. I had it fixed at one point and then it stopped again. Sorry guys, when I get some time I will try to look in to it further.
